Locked in with the town bad boy . . .
Most women would be scared, but Gabriella's only worried about resisting
Cruz Walsh, who's even hotter than he was back in high school. Cruz was
wrongly accused of the high-profile crime for which he was imprisoned;
Gabriella's desperate for the scoop that will get her career off the
ground and get her out of Sweet Hill, where everyone still remembers her
as "Flabby Gabby." Being stuck in a supply closet with Cruz is the
perfect opportunity to land an interview. What Bri doesn't count on is
Cruz taking "up-close and personal" to a whole new level.
If there's a silver lining to the hell Cruz went through, it's that
losing his freedom put everything in perspective. Maybe starting over
someplace new would be easier, but after years locked up, Cruz values
his family--and his true friends--more than ever. So he's back home,
facing the gossip, dodging reporters . . . and face-to-face with
Gabriella Rossi. They've both changed: Bri wants a story and Cruz just
wants her. Another thing he's learned? Don't let a good thing slip away.
