A beautiful, savvy, and intelligent woman of color, Carmel Delarue has just landed the job of her dreams - and although she doesn't know it yet, she could land the man of her dreams as well. As she works her way up the corporate ladder, she shows herself to be a team player with innovative and well-thought-out plans for achieving her goals. Nevertheless, her personal life challenges her abilities as she is "Chased" by one unsuitable admirer after another. There is Randall, who is married with persistent, lustful intentions. And there is Craig, a former lover on the rebound. Finally, there is Durrell Chase, her boss! Although she vows to herself that she will remain professional at all costs, Carmel finds herself in the inevitable position of developing a powerful attraction for Chase. Romantically suspenseful, with unexpected developments and near-misses of the heart, author Henrietta Elmore-Smith gives us a peek into the life of a woman who is "Chased" for more than just her looks.
