The book is actually better than the blurb on the back makes it sound. The heroine and her fiancée have a big misunderstanding, so she dumps him and leaves to take up her career in the world of fashion. Several years later she's engaged to someone new, but must hurry back to England to help her brother who is in the hospital. She runs into her old fiancée who acts like a jerk, but mostly because he's trying to get her to admit why she really ran out on him all the years ago. There are parts of the hero/heroine's relationship I despise... mostly when she acts like a doormat, but the secondary characters are well done and the 'misunderstanding' is a bit more believable than most. There is something slightly unsatisfying about the end of book and I think it's old fiancée's forgiving attitude - but overall worth the read.
