Erica Shaw manages bestselling authors at a top New York publishing house during the week, then escapes every Friday night to Washington D.C. to see Warren Prince, her musician boyfriend with the irresistible smile. They've promised never to miss a weekend together, and their bond runs deep. But real life starts pulling them apart. Erica faces an overbearing father, an alcoholic mother, and complicated office politics. Warren deals with a tempting job contract that could change everything. As pressure mounts from family drama and career ambitions, their relationship begins to crack. Tempers explode into violence while new romantic interests circle both of them. Set against the backdrop of jazz music and urban passion, their love story becomes a test of how much emotional baggage two people can carry before everything falls apart.
