A compelling tale of corporate glamour, deception and love.

When Max's boss flies over from the States to supervise his promotion, Becky finds herself sidelined into the role of trophy wife, alienated and unsure of herself and the man she agreed to marry, suddenly realising the value of her one constant, true friend. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1E.
