From the back cover:

The classic tale of a man who always got what he wanted...until he met the one woman he couldn't afford to lose

Nate Walker has never shied away from the hard road. Even when it meant leaving behind his family's wealth...and the fiancee who only wanted a rich man. Nothing was going to stop him from opening his own five-star restaurant.

And he was on his way--until his car broke down on a dark road in the Adirondacks, leading him right to White Caps Inn...and Frankie Moorehouse.

Suddenly Nate has a job he doesn't really need--and an affair that has to end when summer does. Except Frankie has a way about her. She gets under his skin. She even makes him want to do what he never thought he could: stay forever.

Read this book over the 4th of July while on vacation. I enjoyed it. J.R. Ward is a great author (This book was her writing as Jessica Bird), I've read several of her brotherhood books, so this was a change, but it was great.

Sending to JennyC1230...she selected from Froggie's virtual bookbox.

Caught from Froggie66's Romance VBB. I love J.R. Ward's Brotherhood series, so I am looking forward to reading an early book from her. Thanks for sending it!

My Review: This story makes me think of the quote: "Life is what happens to you when you're making other plans." Nate Walker is driving on the way to the next chapter of his life when his car breaks down. He walks to the closest place which happens to be a family owned B & B run by Frankie Moorehouse. They need a chef, he's a chef so he fills in for the summer. It was supposed to be just a summer fling, but it became so much more...

Sorry that I had this one awhile before reading it!
