Whitney Buchanan has it all – money, beauty, a hot guy she adores – until one night everything changes and she flees the country without a word to anyone.
Charlie Pearson believes in the good things in life: good food, good friendship, and great sex. He takes pride in his blue-collar job and loves his woman. All that shatters when Whitney breaks his heart and bails. As far as he’s concerned, if he never sees her again — it’ll be too soon.
Now Whitney’s home again.
Charlie figures one chance per customer, and Whitney has had hers. No way he’ll allow his dignity and self-esteem to get trampled in the dirt a second time. He’s not willing to pay that price. He once dreamed that she might be The One; now he sees her as damaged goods. But, damaged or not, he still feels the pull every time she’s around.
And, dammit, dreams die hard.
