Either one can say the single word that will break it off: Snapdragon. But soul-deep sex is just the beginning. Michael becomes a fierce ally against her misogynist boss, a light to chase away the shadow of her notorious father, and the antidote to her crushing loneliness. And Darby must fight hard not to fall in love. After all, choosing love over ambition is the one thing she said she’d never do. And even if she did, it may not change anything for the equally-driven Michael. So she’ll walk the tightrope of their relationship, even though she fears the fall will kill her. For people like them, love doesn’t always conquer all. GET READY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SNAPDRAGON Deeply meaningful, desperately sexual, and inevitably bittersweet, Snapdragon deals with the quandary of choosing love over career, the weight of adulthood and the complexity of modern work-life. It rewrites the book on what a 21st century relationship should look like and keeps the reader wondering how it will end. less
