When Melanie Sawyer finds her flat-mate's sexy friend asleep in her bed, she's amused - and definitely interested. Until she discovers he's wealthy engineering geologist Luke Delaney, the man she's not been able to forget since they went their separate ways after a brief but intense relationship. But five years on, she's not the same carefree waitress looking for adventure and new experiences - she's a dedicated nurse. Too dedicated. There's still enough of that old spark, however, to reignite what they had. If Luke could get her to lighten up and play a little more… But Luke has no idea that Melanie is still coming to terms with a painful past.
