When her rock-solid boyfriend Malcolm receives an unexpected call from his ex-wife, Renee must face what she truly wants for her future.
Maxine Donovan built her luxury real estate empire through determination and independence. Now, with a family, she's planning an ambitious expansion, but as Joseph's career takes off too, their competing ambitions threaten the delicate balance they've created.
Debra Macklin has rebuilt her life since the scandal that nearly cost her everything. When an unexpected opportunity for advancement presents itself, she must decide if she's ready to step back into leadership – and if her healing marriage can withstand the pressure.
