Description
A former love makes a lasting impression in a warm and sexy romance from Nancy Herkness.
Kyra Dixon, a blue-collar girl from the boondocks, is dedicated to her job at a community center that matches underprivileged kids with rescue dogs. When she runs into Will Chase-Connecticut blue blood, billionaire CEO, and her old college crush-she's surprised that he asks a favor from her: to be his date for his uptight family's dreaded annual garden party. If his parents don't approve, all the better.
Kyra's not about to say no. It'll give her a chance to be oh-so-close to her unrequited love. What begins as a little fling turns so mad hot, so fast, that Kyra finds herself falling all over again for a fantasy that won't come true. How can it? She doesn't belong in Will's world. She doesn't want to. But Will does want to belong in hers.
All he has to do now is prove it. Will is prepared to give up whatever is necessary to get what his heart most desires.
