    When the power comes back on, the two find themselves in a passionate embrace that leads to a single night together. Shocked by her own recklessness, Laney disappears the next morning. Months later, she receives an even greater shock: Deke shows up with an astounding announcement. Unable to forget the chemistry between them, but afraid that she's just another notch on this wealthy playboy's bedpost, Laney must face an even deeper fear . . . or forever lose the one man she can't resist.
