Fifteen years after their one-night stand, fate has brought
Harriet P. Smith and Jake Porter back to the small town
where they met. Harriet is now a famous artist living in
New York City, while Jake is a music mogul in L.A.
It takes both of them by surprise when the passion they
shared that one unforgettable night flares up again so
quickly after all these years apart. Jake always said he
wasn't the marrying kind, but with Harriet he's beginning
to have second thoughts. The only thing standing in their
way is the 15-year-old secret Harriet has been keeping from
Jake. Will finding out about the secret drive Jake away, or
will it pull him into a life he never knew he wanted?
This was a good story, even though the dialogue seemed a
bit stilted and forced. And additional excitement could
have added a lot to the often-used plot device.
Sixteen years ago, world-famous artist Harriet P.
Smith was the nerdiest girl at Doolittle High School, and
Jake Porter was the new boy in town. Charismatic,
handsome, and instantly popular, Jake was way out of her
league. Harriet was shocked when he asked her to the
graduation dance . . . and devastated when he left town
for good the next morning.
Only his father's
remarriage could bring Jake, now a hot shot L.A. music
exec, back to small-town Arkansas. His only consolation is
the stunning woman with the mysterious green eyes he meets
at a local bar. He's got no idea he was a part of one of
the best nights of her life—or that he's about to fall for
her as hard as she once did for him. Jake's never been the
marrying kind, but another night with Harriet might make
him change his mind.
