He was engaged. She was his sister's best friend. And his dirty little secret. Twenty years later, it's all about to explode.

David Farris has been a widower for almost a year. He should be able to handle Tricia Connelly waltzing back into his life. After all, it's been over twenty years. But now that she's within kissing distance, she's the epitome of his greatest desire... and his deepest guilt. To preserve his sanity he has to keep everything between them strictly business. But Tricia is too touchable, too kissable, and keeping his hands off her proves impossible.

Tricia wants nothing more than to drive David crazy with need for her. When she realizes they'll be working side-by-side, day in and day out, her heart clamors for a second chance. David is the one man she's always wanted, but he keeps her at arms-length as if their history together never existed. Or maybe because of it.

Can he let go of the past? Or will he allow guilt to destroy their future?

"Couldn't put this fabulous story down save to grab a tissue for my occasional tears!"

"Hot, romantic and almost heartbreaking."
