Escaping the heartbreak of a cheating husband, Jenny
Tolliver returns to the family cottage on Blue Valley Lake
for the summer. Recently divorced and having quit her
teaching job, she's back in her hometown of Destiny, small-
town USA.
Jenny always does everything "right." People refer to her
as "good Jenny," "sweet Jenny," "nice Jenny." So how are
people going to react when they learn why she is back in
Destiny, that she is divorced? It matters to Jenny what
people think about her, and she is sure that divorce is a
taboo word here. And townspeople will really be astonished
if they find out with whom she is keeping company.
As she re-immerses herself in Destiny, her summer is filled
with garden parties, bunko parties, renewing old
friendships and lazy days of sunning at the lake with her
best friend. She and her father reconnect. They have always
been close, as her mom died when she was 13, but Jenny has
been away from him and Destiny for quite some time.
And then there is the passionate, intense, hot and wild sex
she is having with Mick Brody. Mick reappears at his
family's place outside of Destiny after a long absence. He
is a "bad boy" troublemaker, or at least that is what
everyone thinks of him from his high school days. No one
knows he is in Destiny, except Jenny. She stumbles across
him in the woods across the lake from her cottage. While
her personal convictions about him are conflicted and
confused, the sex they are having is intense and amazing.
Something she never had with her ex-husband.
But Mick Brody is harboring a secret, and when Jenny finds
out just what that secret is, she is torn between telling
her dad, the Chief of Police in Destiny, or keeping it to
herself. Her dad only sees things in black-and-white, while
she is beginning to believe there are some situations that
are definitely "shades of gray."
What is Jenny's "destiny?" Can she keep Mick's secret from
her father? Where will she be with moving on in her
personal life at the end of this summer? ONE RECKLESS
SUMMER is certainly going to be "hot" summer reading. You
may need a fan to get through some of this enchanting, fast-
paced, hot, sexy novel.
It's tough to play it cool on a sultry summer night . . .
The perfect daughter. The perfect prom queen. The
perfect wife. Jenny Tolliver's been the good girl all her
life, and it's gotten her nowhere. Now that her marriage
has been busted up by her cheating ex, she's decided it's
time to regroup and rediscover herself. This summer she's
headed back to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio, to the very
lakeshore cottage where she grew up, to figure out what
life holds in store for her next.
She never
dreamed the answer would be Mick Brody, Destiny's #1
hellraiser. He comes from the wrong side of the tracks (or
in his case, the lake), and he's landed in hot water more
times than he can count. He's exactly the kind of guy
Jenny's always kept her distance from . . . but soon the
good girl and the bad boy are caught in a raw heat that's
out of control. Too bad Mick's got a secret that threatens
to tear them apart and ruin Jenny's perfectly,
passionately reckless summer . . .
