Grace under pressure was Sarah's hallmark. Smashing antiques in her philandering ex-husband's brokerage firm lobby? Totally out of character. She's always been the one who coped. Who pleased. So how to explain tossing the valuables? And how to explain letting Charlie McNulty ride to the rescue?

Charlie hates mess--emotional mess, in particular--and this is a doozy. He can't afford to get involved--not when he's about to make partner and Sarah's ex has a vote. Maybe Charlie can do the chivalrous thing, then get away clean. Great plan...until Sarah--and her kids--work their magic on him. Now, suddenly, he doesn't want to leave.
