Covert CIA agent Matt Kincaid has come to tiny Walton Springs for some R&R, only to find Janey Blackmon waiting for him at his mother's house. Matt’s not there to swap memories with the girl he’s never forgotten…and he’s definitely not there to divulge government secrets about her missing brother, no matter how much she pleads.

But she knew he would go, because like her brother, adventure is in Matt’s blood. Being stuck in a small town with plain Jane the librarian wasn’t ever in his plans. Trapped by a flood, with no phone or power, smoldering desire threatens to burst into flame. Will passion—and Matt’s offer to recreate prom night—lead to a future together? Or are they just dancing in the dark? less
