description: From the award-winning Robin Kaye comes the first in a delightful new series -- a sexy romance of a good girl who's got it bad for a secret crush.
  
  Elyse Fitzgerald is on a blind date from hell in Brooklyn's historic waterfront neighborhood of Red Hook when she stumbles into a childhood friend -- and childhood crush. She knows Simon would never be interested in his little sister's friend, even though she's all grown up. So it's a lucky break that he doesn't recognize her…
  
  Simon Sprague is an artist who picks up bartending shifts at a local family-owned pub. To the artistic Simon, the women he usually meets at work are uninspiring. Except for the dark-eyed goddess who just walked into his bar. He feels an instant connection with her, and the mysterious angel seems to know him. Quick on his feet, Simon goes along with the ride… but will he lose his heart to a hometown girl along the way?
