About This Book

A married New York banker struggles to reconcile his Wall Street ambitions with domestic devotion as social obligations, financial dealings, and a confidential commission pull him away from home. His wife experiences jealousy and unease while a trusted friend serves as intermediary, complicating loyalties and trust. Set among fashionable gatherings and business maneuvering, the narrative traces how ambition, secrecy, and social display strain intimate bonds and lead toward consequences that threaten the couple's happiness.
