Old flames burn bright. When a disgraced starlet returns home to lick her wounds, she discovers that her high school sweetheart is just as tempting as ever.
"No one writes big-hearted bad boys like Jessica Lemmon!"(New York Times best-selling author Lori Foster)
Allison: When I left for California, I gave myself a new name and never looked back. Now my carefully crafted good-girl image is getting torn to shreds in the press thanks to my Oscar-winning A-hole of an ex-boyfriend. So I escape to the only safe haven I know and trust - my hometown - to take a breather while I plot my triumphant Hollywood comeback. However, when I arrive at my parents' house, Jackson Burke answers the door instead. And suddenly the past comes rushing back....
Jackson: First kiss. First time. First love. Yep, Allison Murphy and I shared a lot of firsts back in the day. When she left, she took half my heart with her. Now she's back in town, and even though I swore I'd keep my distance, her parents hired me to remodel their house, and I'm going to finish the job. But one hot kiss later, suddenly the press is calling us the next big celebrity couple. Sure, I'll play the part, for Allison's sake - but I refuse to let her close enough to break my heart all over again.....
