Screenwriter Harper Garner has weathered a long run of bad luck. When she got her shot at the big time in Los Angeles, she marked the brave cross-country leap with her first and only one-night stand, and connected so deeply with the brilliant stranger that she broke the cardinal rule and left him her number. Never hearing back was only the first in a string of hope-crushing, confidence-shaking blows. Now, starting over on Cape Cod, Harper runs headlong into the one man she has never been able to forget: Gavin Wheeler, a talented interior designer with a thriving business and a tight circle of his own. He is smart, romantic, and every bit as magnetic as she remembered, and the connection that once undid her flares right back to life through moonlit talks and slow, steamy kisses. But complications trailing out of Gavin's past threaten the fragile thing they are rebuilding, leaving Harper to wonder whether he is finally the one, or simply the next heartbreak waiting to happen. Over a Cape Cod summer, a battered but hopeful screenwriter and the romantic she cannot shake get a second chance at the night that started it all, if the past will let them take it.
