Synopsis:

The Reunion Game

Thirty-three-year-old Jane Smith's biological clock is ticking. But pickings are slim in Legend, Tennessee, until the fifteen year high school reunion gives Jane a second chance. Graham Winchester will be back in town.

In high school, Jane's shyness has stopped her from taking action. Now she's older, wiser and no longer afraid. Graham's moved to the big city and won't stick around. He's a confirmed bachelor and happily-ever-after is not in his makeup. Yet, Jane must exorcise the demon Graham has become so she can get on with her life.

Switching places with her glamorous twin sister is just what she needs to get Mr. Most Likely to Succeed into bed and out of her heart.

Cowboy Cookies
Excerpt from The Reunion Game

“ Cowboy cookies?” Jane turned in surprise.
Graham grinned, his mood seeming to lift. “Harriet baked cookies this morning before she left for Europe.”
“ Just like the old days.”
“ Yeah, like when we were kids.”

Excerpt:

THE REUNION GAME
CHAPTER ONE

There was no way sex with Graham Winchester was as good as she remembered.

Jane Smith stood alone in the crowded Legend VFW hall where her fifteenth year high school reunion was in full swing around her. She held a plastic wineglass of California merlot that gave her something to do with her hands, smiled at Betty Jo, the clerk from the Piggly Wiggly who waved from across the dance floor, and thanked her lucky stars for the relative darkness on the periphery of the dance floor.

He’d arrived. Heat surged through Jane’s body. Graham Winchester—senior class president, debate team captain, yearbook staff member, valedictorian and Mr. Most Likely to Succeed—had finally come home to Legend.

For fifteen years, she’d fantasized about Graham. For fifteen years, she’d remembered that one night alone with him in the back seat of his family Chevy. Sure, it had been cliché. Graduation night. One thing leading to another. Each going their separate ways the next day.

She’d put him behind her and gotten on with her life. College first and then back to Legend to teach high school English. When her mom was diagnosed with cancer, she’d cared for her. After years as a volunteer at the county dog pound, she’d founded Legend’s non-kill Pet Rescue. Last year, she’d quit teaching and opened a book store.

Yet she’d never forgotten Graham.

Cold, hard truth washed over Jane as she watched from the shadows. For all she’d accomplished, she was still stuck in high school. Her love life sucked. It’d been on hold for much too long.

She must exorcise the demon Graham had become and put him out of her mind and heart for the last time.
