Sick after catching her slacker musician boyfriend entangled with a buxom
groupie on her floral duvet, Kate Keller finds her antidote in John McAllister: a
wealthy, conservative businessman who considers freshly pressed chinos the
last word in casual wear. She trades late night jam sessions and video game
addictions for jazz clubs and gourmet Central Park picnics. This, she thinks, is
what an adult relationship is. No more prying petrified Froot Loops from cartoon-
themed plastic bowls.
Yet it doesn’t take long for Kate to realize that John isn’t her knight in designer-clad armor. He switches from generous and romantic to moody and unavailable so often, Kate has a hard time keeping up with the emotional whiplash. But just as she decides she’s better off alone, John reveals a secret that changes
everything.
