From the back cover

A photographer who once conned her way into the heart of Barry Seret, heir to the Seret empire, returns to New York three years after their bitter breakup, hoping to slip in unnoticed. But her first cover shoot puts her face to face with Barry himself, and though he shows no flicker of recognition, he soon corners her alone with a question about what she would do if someone who betrayed her reappeared.

When a persistent suitor stages a public proposal outside the studio, Barry seizes her wrist and declares they are going home. Linda must keep her mask of composure intact while the man she wronged watches her every move.
