Natalie’s
world is shaken to its core when she discovers an old photo of a woman who
looks like her. Could this woman be related to her birth mother, who put
Natalie up for adoption as a baby? When she tracks down the person who dumped
the photo album at her thrift shop, she’s shaken again. Especially when the
gorgeous fire-fighting guitarist offers to help her find the owner. They
quickly become friends – which is all they’ll be, as far as Natalie’s
concerned. Her rebellious youth turned her off cheating men, and the new
Natalie is looking for true love and a family of her own – something Casey
isn’t willing to provide. But how long can Natalie ignore her undeniable
attraction to the man with the Irish accent and the broken-down ’57 Chevy?
In
Chelsey Krause’s second novel, friends become lovers over a whirlwind summer of

Excerpt:
The
next morning, a bright, sunny day, I roll out of bed and shrug on a pair of cropped
beige tights and a spring dress. By ten thirty, I’m waiting outside of Casey’s
house. I’m about to knock on the door when it swings open. Casey is standing
there, a crooked smile showcasing one dimple.
And, oh dear God, he’s shirtless.
“Morning, stranger,” he says.
“Do you always answer the door half
naked?”
“I just rolled out of bed. You’re lucky I
have pants on.”
I feel a smile tugging on my lips. “Do you
need a few minutes to get ready?”
He leans into the hallway and grabs a
T-shirt and a set of keys off of a narrow table. “I’m good.” He bounds out of
the house, and walks down the driveway to the backyard.
Casey turns and beckons me down the
driveway. I follow him into a dark garage. Hmm. I sure hope he isn’t a serial
killer.
I decide to linger in the doorway. “So,
how long have you lived in Canada?”
“Since I was thirteen,” he says. “Why?”
“You still have an accent, so…”
He hits the garage door button, and an
ancient motor and pulley system rattles to life. “We came over for Dad’s work.
But we were from County Kerry, originally,” he says. “Very thick accents.”
I’m about to blurt out, “I love your
accent,” but think better of it.
The garage door is finally up, and
sunlight spills through the dusty air onto a very old, very sad looking blue
truck.
“That’s your truck?”
He nods. “Isn’t she great?”
I examine the rust-bitten tailgate. It’s
barely hanging on. It doesn’t even look road-worthy. “She’s okay.”
His eyes widen playfully and he places a
hand on his chest. “You don’t like Old Blue? But this is a ’57 Chevy! It’s a
classic!”
I wrinkle my nose.
Casey pats the hood affectionately.
“There, there,” he stage-whispers. “She just needs to get to know you first.
You have a great personality.”
He walks over to the passenger side and
opens the truck door for me, and I look into the cab. It isn’t filthy, exactly.
Everything just looks weathered. Cracked. Stained.
“I don’t mind driving my car.”
He sighs. “Just get in.”
