Isabel (Izzy) Latham is in the middle of repairing her childhood home when a blast from her past knocks on her door. She hasn't seen Jack Carter in eleven years and the shock is almost too much...as she closes the door in his face. The man of her dreams is on her doorstep but she's not surprised to learn that he's looking for her older sister, Ellie. Apparently there's been a scandal that is jeopardizing a business deal Jack has going down and he needs Ellie. Only, Izzy hasn't talked to her in a couple weeks.Jack Carter's breath is stolen at the beauty that stood before him in the house that he was more often as a kid than his own. Her reaction to his presence isn't exactly what he'd expected, however. When he drops the bomb on Izzy about having to marry Ellie to complete a business transaction, she's clearly unhappy. She becomes infuriated when he claims that Izzy has 3 choices pick from: Tell him where Ellie is, stand in for her at the wedding, or pay him back the money he loaned Ellie. Talk about having to keep cleaning up after an irresponsible sister!What ensues is a pretty interesting novella that dredges up the past, clears up a bunch of misunderstandings, fosters a relationship that both main characters so desperately need, and is scorching hot. Izzy is a brilliantly written woman still pining after the one man that never showed any interest in her. If only she knew the reason why. Jack is a great man that has a lot of issues that he buried or allowed to build up to epic proportions. There are very few secondary characters but they play their parts wonderfully. I love the last couple of chapters when everything clicks concerning Jack's important business deal.I will definitely read more from Tracey Rogers. Her storytelling style is easy to read, understand, and enjoy. The entire novella was smooth and comfortable and didn't twist off into useless filler or dribble.Review Copy Courtesy Of: The author, at no cost, in exchange for an honest review.
