Fate drove devil-may-care Jake Harrigan to Nicolette Oliver's doorstep. Nic can't allow her attraction for Jake to develop. Her goal is to re-establish her career as a dancer. Is it worth the risk to give in to the temptation of Jake's kisses, even on a temporary basis? Would Jake repeat the same mistakes as her late husband? Could she live with the likely end result?

Would that be enough for him to keep his distance from the fragile, yet independent brunette?
