Jack Ryan was not a fanciful man. He preferred fact to fiction, reality over fantasy. He didn’t believe in mermaids, leprechauns, unicorns or wishing on a star. Which made things interesting and more than a little confusing when he met Sheri. When it came to reality vs. fantasy, Sheri broke all Jack’s rules. She could make roses bloom in winter and conjure an excellent cup of coffee out of thin air. She could also charm birds from the trees and melt the hardest of hearts with nothing more than a smile. How was Jack supposed to explain her to his family? His coolly controlled fiancée? He couldn’t even explain Sheri to himself. She was beautiful and sweet and kind and utterly impossible. She had no business existing in Jack’s sane, solid world. But as he spent time with her, it was becoming more and more clear how much he needed her.
