NOW HE'D KISSED HER. AND EVERYTHING WAS CHANGED. She was the waif he'd befriended when she was only four years old... the beautiful blue-eyed ten-year-old he'd taken for a dizzying ride in his plane... the dazzling seventeen-year-old stranger who caught his eye when he returned years later. Tyler McKendrick had dreams of stunt-flying on the Hollywood circuit. He hadn't reckoned on Meg Harper, the child who had touched his heart, the young woman who took his breath away. It was almost as if fate had driven them together again... When he'd buried her broken doll and mended her broken heart with friendship, the rich boy from the Hill had won the poor little girl's love forevermore. But Meg Harper could never let Ty McKendrick know how much she cared. Not even when he swept her into a marriage of convenience to rescue her from a brutal home. Together they set off for Hollywood and stardom -- only to return to Iowa and to the passions of the past, where she was forced to face her ghosts -- and fight for the love she almost lost...
