Book excerpt: GUESS WHO’S BACK IN TOWN! Her acting career over before it began and her bank account drained, Lilah Owens returned to her tiny hometown of Kalamoose, North Dakota, with the one thing she did have, a big secret in the form of her eleven-year-old daughter. Not five minutes in town, she ran into the unbearably handsome, hardscrabble boy she left behind but never forgot. Only now Gus Hoffman was all man, owned most of Kalamoose, had a fancy fiancée and had no idea that he was a father! Gus knew the beautiful woman he’d loved and lost was hiding something—and that meeting once more at midnight, the way they used to, would reveal her secrets. But could Gus handle the truth—and his still-burning passion for Lilah?
