About this ebook

It's tough to play it cool on a sultry summer night . . .

The perfect daughter. The perfect prom queen. The perfect wife. Jenny Tolliver's been the good girl all her life, and it's gotten her nowhere. Now that her marriage has been busted up by her cheating ex, she's decided it's time to regroup and rediscover herself. This summer she's headed back to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio, to the very lakeshore cottage where she grew up, to figure out what life holds in store for her next.

She never dreamed the answer would be Mick Brody, Destiny's #1 hellraiser. He comes from the wrong side of the tracks (or in his case, the lake), and he's landed in hot water more times than he can count. He's exactly the kind of guy Jenny's always kept her distance from . . . but soon the good girl and the bad boy are caught in a raw heat that's out of control. Too bad Mick's got a secret that threatens to tear them apart and ruin Jenny's perfectly, passionately reckless summer . . .

Ratings and reviews

Well written love story with plenty of sex, secrects and I think the characters were well developed. I loved her "bad boy"...he was just right, not too much not too little.. A predictable romance novel, but soooo entertaining I couldnt put it down.

I have not read a book good enough to read beginning to end in a very long time. But this one kept me so interested, I finished it in one day and bought the rest of the Destiny series before I even finished this one. Can't wait to start #2!

I absolutely fell in love with this book from the beginning. I was hooked. I loved the characters of the book that I had to get the whole "destiny" series. Loved it. .
