description: In Awakenings, the first of 26 novels of the series, we met Ryan O'Flaherty and Jamie Evans, juniors at the University of California at Berkeley. Since then we've followed them from the first flicker of attraction to their declarations of love, struggles with their families and a long, love-filled honeymoon. Now they're back in Berkeley, enjoying their summer vacation. But even though they're madly in love, small issues keep cropping up to interrupt their bliss. From expensive haircuts to expensive cars, Jamie's money-and what it can buy-continues to be a problem that she and Ryan struggle with. When Jim Evans, already in denial over his daughter's declared preference of a mate, receives a report from the bank that Jamie has given Ryan access to her checking account, he becomes more convinced than ever that the money is the only reason that Ryan has latched onto Jamie. Jamie knows her father's suspicions are groundless, but she has a difficult time convincing him of that. She's confident that he'll love Ryan once he gets to know her. But for now Ryan has to satisfy herself with getting to know Catherine Evans, hoping that impressing her will go a long way towards reaching Jim.
