Book description
To all appearances, Zachary King is a man with luck on his side. A
steady, well-paying job, a rent-free Manhattan apartment, and Hope, his
stunning, blue-blooded fiancee: smart, sexy, and completely out of his
league. But as the wedding day looms, Zack finds himself haunted by the
memory of his best friend, Rael, killed in a car wreck two years earlier
- and by his increasingly complicated feelings for Tamara, the beautiful
widow Rael left behind. Then Norm - Zack's freewheeling, Viagra-popping
father - resurfaces after a twenty-year absence, looking to make amends.
Norm's overbearing, often outrageous efforts to re-establish ties with
his sons infuriate Zack, and yet, despite twenty years of bad blood, he
finds something compelling in his father's maniacal determination to
transform his own life. Inspired by Norm, Zack boldly attempts to make
some changes of his own, and the results are instantly calamitous. Soon
fists are flying, his love life is a shambles, and his once carefully
structured existence is spinning hopelessly out of control. Jonathan
