Frank marries a stranger named Andrew, then falls for his boss — who is the same man.
Frank, raised in a quiet town, agreed to a hasty marriage with city-dweller Andrew, a match arranged by his grandmother's friends. The two never met before Andrew left for an overseas job and cut contact for twelve months. Frank later took a position under a wealthy, charismatic executive also named Andrew, who launched a relentless romantic pursuit. Their affair taught the former playboy restraint while Frank slowly rebuilt his ability to trust. The truth surfaces at a divorce proceeding, where Frank discovers his absent husband and devoted boss are one person.
