She was once his inspiration. Now, he is her salvation.
Cori Clarke spent twenty-one years walking in her sister's shadow. Being her bridesmaid is a duty she cannot refuse, even though her sister is marrying a man Cori always desired. The wedding is not a total loss once she runs into Jesse Woods, the older brother of her childhood friend. There are plenty of reasons to resist him, yet part of Cori is begging for Jesse's touch. Regardless of how hard she fights against her desire, an exposed secret leaves her in urgent need of his help.

When Jesse's agent makes a ridiculous request, he spins it in his favor, allowing him to help Cori escape a dire situation. Now that she is his responsibility, he is in an awkward position. Being together dredges up old feelings. The ones Jesse has tried to forget. The ones Cori is just discovering.
