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.
