Synopsis: Lilly’s Last Words

Author: Gary Marks

This sensual romance novel is about the life of Stephen Weston, a gifted financial analyst with a breakthrough stock-market timing model.

He arrives in Manhattan expecting to negotiate a lucrative promotion, and to persuade Lilly—the woman he loves—to renew a relationship that ended long ago.

Eventually, he finds himself caught between two worlds:

One is a world of luxury hotels, formal dinner parties, and trips to Paris and London with Lilly by his side.

The other world belongs to Lilly. She doesn't care about the luxurious life he wants to share with her. She wants them to buy a house in Boulder and be more spontaneous. She values adventure and close friendships over marriage and routine.

She clearly knows how much Stephen loves her. And he certainly knows how to love. She loves him for exactly who he is. She would never want him to change.

The question is, how does that math add up?
