Everlasting — Nancy Thayer

BLOOMS...
That was the name Catherine Eliot gave the business that became her passion--the East Side flower shop from which she aped wealth and prestige by tapping into New York's taste expensive and exotic. This is Catherine's story--of her passion or independence and success, and what it cost her. It is the story, too, of the handsome Boston lawyer who taught her to love but could not give her enough...of the savvy, street-wise other man who awakened the kind of desire she feared the most...and of a family, whose loves and lusts, intrigues and betrayals, heartbreaks and triumphs, became her bloodline to daring ambition.

Sweeping from New York's flower district to elegant East Hampton to England's beautiful countryside and Amsterdam's world-famous flower auctions, this sumptuous novel gives full reign to an extraordinary, fiercely determined woman with the courage and spirit to make her dreams come true.
