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 lifeβor 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.
