"A standout contemporary romance." --USA Today's Happy Ever After
Morning Glory native Jess Culpepper is desperate to get out of town
after divorcing the only man she's ever dated. She takes a temporary
nursing job in Florida and, thanks to the bequest of her late friend,
Lacy, has the funds to rent a condo right on the beach. She's not
prepared to literally trip over her old high school lab partner--and
definitely not prepared for how deliciously hot he is now.
Ryan Reyes, once known as "The Brain," has worked hard to become more
than the skinny nerd that jocks bullied and girls politely tolerated. At
twenty-six, he has retired from science to run a charter fishing
business in Pensacola and spend his leisure time catching up on the
debauchery he missed. But when the unattainable girl of his teenage
fantasies moves in down the beach, old feelings come flooding back.
Their scorching attraction soon leads them into bed--but what starts as
no-strings-attached fun is complicated by a return to Morning Glory and
the shadows of their shared past. Can the head cheerleader and the geek
redefine themselves and forge ahead to find their happily ever after?
