In order to keep custody of her teenage sister, Tessa
Scuderi told a small (okay, big) lie to the people of Lucy's
Lake, Vermont, about what really happened ten years ago when
Dermot Finnegan took off with her virginity, her car, and
the town bell. It had been working, too, until she found her
old car parked in front of her house, keys in the ignition,
and a telltale red hair stuck to the headrest.
All Finn wanted to do was return the stupid car and get
going. But he stopped to save a burning pet shop (big
mistake), ended up kissing Tessa behind the drugstore (big
mistake, but worth it), and discovered that Tessa's been
building him up as some kind of town hereo all these years
(gonna have to puzzle that out). Now Finn has to find out
who's behind a string of mysterious fires and deal with the
heat between him and Tessa. Hey, one more kiss can't
hurt--or can it?
