The Wedding Ring

INHALT

Kate Sterling owns and operates Tokens of Love, a custom design jewelry store, in Minneapolis, she its designer. She treats the store like an extension of family, which she and her employees, Anthony Prentice and Vicki Wilson, love compared to working for a corporate entity like Shoreline Jeweler's. She had never thought about the fact of designing wedding rings for clients while having no romance in her life until her younger sister, Judy Sterling, gets engaged. About that same time, Kate is contacted out of the blue, after almost twenty years, by Jamie Coleman, her first boyfriend when they were in the eighth grade, they only having broken up solely in his family moving to Chicago. While there seems to be a romantic spark between the two upon this reunion, Kate learns the reason for he wanting to reconnect is that he is a corporate headhunter, his client, Shoreline, which is looking for someone to run their new custom jewelry design section in Chicago. Jamie admits that he fell into this seemingly unlikely career, he still dreaming of what was his initial plan to become a chef. While Kate initially declines the invitation even to meet with Shoreline, she reconsiders as she and Jamie seem to be falling for each other, the thought of making a go of the relationship by being in the same city a factor. The scale may tip if she learns that Jamie may have an ulterior professional motive outweighing their personal feelings.
