Book excerpt: Freshly single Rosie Holiday is on the hunt for passion and excitement. This leads her to Leo Whittaker-a bad boy who waltzed out of town, and her life, thirteen years ago. Leo isn't the type to stick around, but Rosie's not going to let a no-strings opportunity pass her by. When a business trip sends Leo back to his hometown, the last thing he expects is for his first love to hand him a list of scorching-hot escapades and a deadline. He's happy to help Rosie discover her bossy side in the bedroom. Or in a fireworks stand. Or at a Fourth of July barbecue. Their chemistry burns bright and fast, but what tore them apart years ago is still between them. They are polar opposites. A reserved kindergarten teacher and an irreverent artist. A nester and a wanderer. It will take a spark of imagination and a lot of love to keep their second-chance romance from flaming out.
