When her beloved foster mother Grace dies, journalist Callie McCarran goes home to Wesley, Nevada to attend the funeral upset that her beloved guardian never told her she was terminal. The townsfolk are angry with Callie for not being there for Grace. While home, Callie decides to see if her feelings for her childhood boyfriend, Nathan Marcenek remains as strong as ever. Nathan, the editor of Wesley Star newspaper, came home after being injured on an investigation. He wants nothing to do with the woman who broke his heart when she left town just after their high school graduation.

Jeannie Watt provides a profound look into the psyche of Callie who prefers being Always A Temp with any relationship professional and personal as she learned from her father.

A Top Flight Read

Jeannie Watt has produced another sterling story of romance sprinkled with a couple of minor mysteries and one humongous puzzle--why did Callie McCarran leave her high school sweetheart, Nathan Marcenek, the day after graduation without a goodbye or a word of explanation only to pop-up twelve years later in Nate's newspaper office looking for free-lance writing assignments? Nate flat out rejects Callie's request and pours water on her desire to put the past behind them and become friends. Still, he feels a little ember burning way down deep. But before the two can see the light of romantic day, Callie must confront an amorous, testosterone-laden 18-year old student at the school where she sought work as a substitute to make ends meet, a schoolyard stud who just happens to be the son of Nate's boss and an intern in Nate's office. Through it all, Callie suffers from frightening nightmares and an overpowering desire to move on down the line. Is there a connection between her nightmare's and her abandonment of Nate? What caused the nightmares? You'll only find the answers by reading this exciting romance.
