Close to the Soul (Hardcover)

Jim Fletcher is on top of the world. He's rich and successful. Flying high in the stratosphere of investment banking, he seems to have it all. But there's still something missing. Jim has given up looking for a soul mate. Every woman he meets is the wrong one. Jim's friends believe the only companion who'll ever truly share his life is Milo, his overfriendly dog. Then Jim sees Eva. And everything changes. Eva is the real thing. She abhors the world of banking, where everyone has their price. But that's Jim's world. In a bid for love, Jim embarks on a plan to exchange all he knows for a chance at contentment and family life. His risky scheme brings home the reality of class divisions but also unlocks a powerful love between the two. How can he ever stop lying, when he knows that the truth will make the woman he loves despise him?
