Capital Encounters: Love, Loyalty, Freedom, Flings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998078700)

When a promotion to junior recruiter affords her the chance to move across the bridge into DC, Summer--a free bird--quickly sheds her loner lifestyle after she meets, Emily, a class act whose heart is still tied to her ex-husband; Brooke, a career-driven woman looking for love who wants to have it all; and Amber, the fearless pianist who makes a living off of her flings.

Summer's life begins to go as planned, until she meets a hot Cuban at a party who will change her life forever. What starts off as a seemingly harmless affair with Ruben Sotolongo, turns out to be a perilous situation as she struggles with her temptation to play with fire. Summer knows that she must walk away from him before it's too late. At the same time, Summer's friends slowly find the tide turning against them. Brooke will have to face a deal breaker after finding love; after months of suffering, Emily's chance at healing is threatened by an impediment least likely of all places; and when Amber accidentally betrays someone dear to her and underestimates the personality of a client, she realizes that her flings may not exactly be all fun and games. Will they hold hands as friends or tear each other up along the way?
