About the book
Golden Parachute
A Hudson Dynasty Novel · Book Three · Adult Contemporary Romance
Miri Doyle-Levine is a nursing student who has spent her life keeping everyone else alive — her grandmother, her brother, her clients — while protecting her own independence like a perimeter. Kai Hsu is a finance executive who has built a perfect, controlled life to keep need outside the door.
They collide at a Manhattan donor reception, where Miri does the one thing no one does to Kai: she refuses to be impressed by his money. Their attraction is immediate and explicit; their boundaries are not.
When Kai's health collapses and his carefully engineered life unravels, Miri must decide whether love can exist without becoming another unpaid caregiving job — and Kai must learn that recovery cannot be performed for the woman he wants. It must be chosen when nobody is watching.
