Carpe Diem 1 A Second Chance At Happiness

If one lives the life of a frustrated Romantic and a second chance at happiness produces the elusive Romantic Other, does it take denial of reality to achieve a happy every after and should it cost one, one's life??

Meet Elizabeth Wakefield an Investment Consultant V P and quintessential business professional at BarnesBlake. Having on her prospect list is the Head of Global Communications because acquiring his business means a substantial increase in her production, a higher ranking in her office standing and the breaking of a glass ceiling to attain a private office which her bigoted and chauvinistic branch manager is denying her. For 3 years she has failed to convert Prescott Hamilton into a client, because of his instructions to his staff to dispose of the junk mailings and block the unsolicited calls from the annoyingly persistent broker from reaching him. All that changes when he calls the night he suddenly fires his old broker and immediately needs a new one by the next morning for his company's Pension Account.
But when they meet, the elusive and handsome man of privilege, accustomed to being a sexually active womanizer; while at the same time the professionally feared, demandingly powerful, unpleasant, high maintenance workaholic corporate head, becomes instantly smitten by her. In fact, they're both magnetically attracted to each other, though she suppresses her feelings in favor of professionalism: remaining focused on the understanding of the magnitude of this phenomenal corporate account while continuing her credo of not having personal relationships with clients; in addition to sensing she's 20 years his senior, though she doesn't look it and he's unaware of it too. However by the end of their meeting, she knows she's become his newest amorous target, as the prospect of an interracial relationship intrigues him as well as being intimately familiar with her voluptuous body, dispelling any intention of his being a platonic client.

Unbeknownst to her biggest client's seductive conquest intentions, Liz's heart is cauterized and her personal life is in upheaval, leaving her feeling at 60 she's alone, being forced to start life all over again, disbelieving in finding Happiness, let alone having a Second Chance. Nor is she prepared for a seemingly random life threatening event which makes her know the presence of love and the identity of her Romantic Other before becoming blatantly clear that someone is targeting her and wants her very dead.
