Since the turn of the century, the elegant and fashionable DeWilde stores have helped brides around the world realize the fantasy of their "special day."

The store: DeWildes, Paris. Merchandising manager Megan DeWilde had major plans for expansion of DeWilde's Paris operation, and for a step up the corporate ladder, right along with her twin brother, Gabriel.

The stakes: Prime real estate on the Rue de la Paix, site of the innovative Galeries DeWilde, if Megan got her dream. But Phillip Villeneuve, scion of a rival retailing family, was after the same property. And despite himself, he was after Megan, too. Caught in the middle of a feud neither understood, they were powerless against the sizzling chemistry that overrode property, family and every shred of common sense.
