At 25, Maggie is a confident - and very capable - journalist. She has the perfect boyfriend, Hayes, and is working hard for a promotion that she desperately wants. Her boss gives her an opportunity that will help her clinch the promotion. It seems simple enough... Go back to her hometown of Merritt and interview Zan Alexander - "probably the biggest name in theater at the moment."At 15, Maggie had a brief infatuation with Zan Alexander - a misfit and friend of her brother's. She interacted with him at two different parties (for about a total of about 30 minutes). Knowing he would have nothing to do with a 15-year-old (almost 16;), she lied about her age. Believing her to be heading to college, Zan agrees to dance with her in a dark corner of the yard... the dance leads to kisses... when they are interrupted by Maggie's older brother who is not happy to see his 15-year-old sister being kissed like that! When Zan discovers her age, he "turned toward her then, giving her a look which ended any possibility, now or forever, of his forgiving her." And that was the last time Maggie saw Zan Alexander, but she has never forgotten him...And now she is faced with the challenge of getting an exclusive interview with the elusive Zan Alexander... who has a strict policy of not giving interviews. And Maggie isn't sure if she is more afraid of Zan still being angry at her after all these years... or him not even remembering who she is!Personally, I didn't see many similarities to Pride and Prejudice -- but it was still a great story! As far as being clean... there are no sex scenes in this book, but there is a lot of sexual tension between Zan and Maggie throughout the book.
