If Brogan could have seen what a shitty day Danny was having, a stone’s throw across the water from his office, it might have taken the edge off his anger.

Walking back from the subway, his clothes soaked and feet throbbing with pain and cold after another wasted day pounding the pavement, Danny was as close to despair as his naturally sunny nature allowed.

How had it come to this?

A year ago he’d been a partner in an established, respected diamond-dealing business with a good track record and a list of loyal, regular clients as long as his arm. OK, so he’d had a few squabbles with Jake over the simulants. And Tyler Brett had put a dent in their profits that had only recently begun to be repaired with Flawless. They hadn’t been making the kind of silly money they had been pulling in during the tech boom of the late nineties, when every nerd with a dot-com idea was out buying diamonds for women light-years out of their league. But they were doing all right. He’d been living in a gorgeous apartment, driving a flash car, and going out to five-star restaurants whenever the mood took him. Like an idiot, he’d imagined that all he needed to complete his happiness was Diana by his side. Little had he thought that winning Diana would mean losing everything—absolutely everything—else.

At first, the idea of battling it out with Brogan seemed almost romantic. He’d long ago resigned himself to the fact that Diana would probably walk away from her marriage with less than she brought into it. Brogan had all his money tied up in a maze of offshore accounts so interminably complicated that no judge would be able to get through it. There were no children, and, officially at least, Diana had taken the fall as being the guilty party in the breakup. What he hadn’t counted on was the degree to which his own wealth would be depleted. How he would have to watch fifteen years of work unraveling terrifyingly quickly and his assets and savings being sucked into the insatiable vortex of a divorce case that, no matter how little they asked for or how many outrageous concessions they agreed to, never seemed to end.

“Spare any change, man?” The wino on the corner accosted him with a beery-breathed stagger. Guiltily, Danny reached into the sodden pocket of his overcoat and pulled out a solitary dollar bill, pressing it into the man’s hand without stopping. Plenty of people are worse off than you, he told himself sternly as a cab splashed filthy water all down his right side. Plenty of people don’t have a home to go to tonight, never mind a gorgeous, patient, loving woman cooking them spaghetti on a shitty two-ring stove, a woman who had never once complained about what she’d lost by following him blindly on this great romantic adventure.

It had taken Diana a long time to emerge from the shadow of her guilt about leaving Brogan. But
