Book excerpt: The mother of two young children, Stacey Bancroft is cynical about love and about men in general. When she playfully honks her horn at a handsome stranger on the street she never dreams it would end up with an angry, indignate Robert Johnson confronting her over her lunch. Robert Johnson couldn't believe when a woman honked her horn at him as he walked down the street. What type of person did that? When he took the time to find out, he was pleasantly surprised by what he saw: a fiesty, sexy woman who knew how to fight back. Robert immediately knows this is the woman for him, but can he convince Stacey to take a chance on his love's promise?
