The Runaway Heart — Anne Ladley

Miko Wyler is fresh out of design school and raring to go on her new line of sportswear. When she falls for the handsome, fun-loving lawyer Max Thompson and manages to pull off a fantastically successful fashion show, she can't believe her good fortune. But her luck and her pocketbook soon run dry. She finds herself in the middle of a heated controversy over her designs, and her ideal boyfriend not only supports her antagonists, but defend them in court!

Unable to accept their difference of opinion, Miko takes off for the big city, leaving her problems with Max far behind. Determined to forget all about him, she immerses herself in her work for the huge fashion conglomerate that had bought her designs, and she dispels her loneliness by dating her new boss, Gunther Hastings. He's rich, he's charming, and he's in love with their possibilities. He's just not Max. Granted, the fur flies when she and Max are together, but Miko soon realizes that no matter how fast she runs, she can't outdistance her heart...
