I enjoyed this book, especially when the price was so low.  My only complaint would be that if you were not paying attention, all this time was passing by from one chapter to the next.  I had to go back and re-read it carefully to figure out that time had transpired from one event to the next.  Story is about Blake and Josephine, who knew each other from when they were teenagers.  She apparently had a crush on him and he never knew.  After highschool, he left the town and became a very rich, successful venture capitalist.  She grows up and becomes a fairly famous model.  Many years later, they run into each other at a party and they are instantly drawn to each other.  They begin to talk and to dance, soon things get heated and they indulge in a passionate one night stand.  After that, Blake leaves her without a word and doesn't attempt to contact her.  Josephine is disappointed and hurt, so when she found out he had gotten engaged, she married his cousin Luke shortly thereafter.Fast forward to a year, Josephine comes home and realizes her husband has left her. Blake goes to her and tells her what his cousin said before running away and she realizes she has nothing.  He took all her money.  Feeling destitute, Blake offers her a job and a roof to stay in.  They begin working together and she soon realizes she is good at the job.  Meanwhile, the attraction is still there and many months go by apparently.  One day they just can't take it anymore and become involved again intimately.  Will thire past get in the way? Will her feelings of betrayal and hurt resurface?  Can they make it into more than a fling?Story moved way too quick for me personally.  Character development was a bit lacking and you had to take things at face value, instead of living it as most good stories do.  Overall, quick and light reading, not in my keep pile.
