After being stood up at the altar, Dyana Randolph moves to New York City to salvage her shattered life--and lands a job at prestigious Pinnacle magazine. There, the charismatic publisher, Michael Dalton, quickly takes her under his wing, providing grist for the rumor mill . . . and giving Dyana the excuse to hide safely behind innuendo, never allowing any man to get too close.

Then, with Michael's retirement, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Bradshaw takes charge of the magazine. Refusing to be intimidated by his dictatorial reputation, Dyana still finds herself drawn to this handsome and very wealthy man. And when Nicholas scores a publishing coup, he enlists Dyana's help with the project. With long hours in close quarters, Dyana can no longer run from her feelings or her past. Will careless whispers blossom into promises of love?
