When Ben Tremayne walked out on his lover and business partner, the infuriating and irresistibly gorgeous David Granger, he never expected David to get over him so quickly. A year later, Ben is still stinging from the way David just picked up with their mutual friend, Barbie Curtis. Yet, when David needs a favor, Ben can't bring himself to say no, even when David stands him up at the last minute. Feeling like a fool, Ben goes to confront David face to face, but when he gets there, he finds the truth he'd spent a whole year trying not to see.

After being estranged for a year, Ben and David are back together and more in love than ever. Their commitment ceremony is approaching, and they've taken the chance to extend a business trip to Paris into a pre-commitment, pre-honeymoon break. They owe their present happiness to Barbara, who has a problem only they can solve, and rubies are involved. Ben has plans of his own - but they owe her too much to turn her down. Ben and David were introduced in Chris Quinton's Breaking Point.
