In the years since her disappearance both her parents and Darren have searched for her. But now, Darren has found a way to exact his revenge and improve the company's bottom line. He not only owns the company for which she works, but he has thwarted Lesley's attempts to find work elsewhere in the fashion industry. She has no choice but to return to Philadelphia and work for the newly created Raiments' offices in that city. Not everyone there is pleased to see Lesley, and particularly working with Darren.
Revenge is sweet.
Darren is having a hard time reconciling his feelings for Lesley and the feeling that she is guilty and hiding something from him. While that may be the case, Darren is shocked when he learns the truth. Lesley has never stopped loving Darren and the agony of seeing him again and having to work with him is overpowering. When they can no longer fight their mutual attraction, a physical relationship between the two begins. However, both are wary.
