Loose ends have a way of tripping you up

Years ago, a law school graduation weekend in Vegas had been part of Lily MacPherson s plan. Waking up next to a naked Adonis with a ring on her finger was not. After a quick annulment, she relegated Caleb Anderson to her late-night fantasies and very short list of mistakes until his voice on the other end of the phone asks a favor that could shake the foundations of her neat and tidy future.

Caleb is still haunted by Lily s horrified expression that morning in Vegas. At least it had made it easy to set her free except they aren t. The papers were never filed. And when the nosy patroness who could launch his painting career insists on meeting his wife, does he confess, or call Lily? He calls Lily.

When she steps off the plane, Caleb s determination to play tour guide disappears in the San Francisco fog. Lily thought she could keep up the pretense for one weekend, cut the last tie to her past, and move on. But their chemistry still pops and sizzles, finally exploding into passion at Caleb s studio.

It s everything they remember but so is the yawning chasm of differences that, in the end, could once again drive them apart.
