Product Description

Riley Stone kissed Hope, Texas goodbye and good riddance eleven years ago, when she headed out to conquer the music world with a head full of dreams and a heart bruised by unrequited love. Now the alluring singer is back with one mission in mind-save the old music hall before Jackson Hope can tear it down.

Long ago, Riley fell for Jackson-a skinny kid with worldly ways and a family who literally owned the town. But now the elder Hopes are letting their town fall apart. Signs of dilapidation are everywhere...except on the grown-up and strikingly sexy Jackson. As the two go toe-to-toe, Riley can't help but take notice.

Jackson is having a hard enough time trying to pull the town out of bankruptcy without battling the girl who tormented him with desire through his high school years-especially when she's even more tempting than he remembers. And now he's going to have to choose between the life he planned, and a woman he finds unforgettable.

From Booklist
Owned by one family, Hope, Texas, is dying, thanks to the abject neglect of the current scion, Congressman Edward Hope. His son, Jackson, a geek in high school, now a successful Austin lawyer, is due to inherit the town. Riley Stone is a talented singer in Austin, tall and shapely. No one would ever guess that she was just a few steps shy of foster care when she was unceremoniously left with her bible-thumping grandmother. Seen as fast and loose in high school, Riley nevertheless moves back to Hope when her grandmother dies. Then, when Edward plans to tear down a historic dance hall, Riley enlists the aid of a reluctant Jackson to help her save it. Along the way, family secrets are unearthed that threaten to tear the Hope family apart, and Riley and Jackson, each burdened with emotional baggage, find their way to each other in Ortolon's sweet, sentimental, and sexy tale of overcoming one's past. Hatton, Maria

First the state of the town and its people floor him. Then there is Riley Stone. Riley played havoc with his high school hormones but she never knew.
