Churchill & Co., the city’s oldest publishing house is fighting for its life.  Flo Wright has relocated from New York City to Boston to save the company and has hired freelance editor, Nick Turner to help her.  But a hastily acquired memoir threatens disaster and sends the editors to Rio in search of the truth.  Can Nick resist his powerful attraction to talented and seductive Flo who’s already married?  That year in Boston, fraught with dangerous love and tragic loss, changed their lives, and the city, forever.
