FLEDGLING ATTORNEY LILY MARINEAU HAD HAD IT WITH EIGHTY HOUR WORK WEEKS. SHE WANTED A HOME AND A FAMILY. THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE A MAN WHO PUT HIS CAREER BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE--LIKE MATT MALONE, SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE LAWYER. HE WORE A BEEPER, RUSHED TO "EMERGENCY" CASES AND TENDED TO BUSINESS ALL DAY LONG. SUCH EVIDENCE POINTED ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION--HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED...TO HIS JOB. MATT KNEW HE WAS GUILTY AS CHARGED, THOUGH AFTER HE MET LILY, WINNING HER HEART BECAME MORE IMPORTANT THAN MANAGING THE NEXT TAKEOVER. SHE WASN'T CONVINCED HE COULD TURN OVER A NEW LEAF, BUT MATT WAS EAGER TO PROVE HER OBJECTIONS WRONG.
