When You Came Back

By Jacquelyn Johnson

First in the Emily & Lucas series

What if your first love, who you haven't seen for years, is suddenly back in your life? And he wants something ...

I loved my magazine job enough to take a steep pay cut just to keep the dream alive. Then they both went up in smoke. But I have to ignore that right now because I'm Woman of Honor at my best friend's wedding. Best Man is Lucas McNichol. Lucas was the boy I loved and lost. I haven't seen him since we were teenagers.

He's become a celebrity chef. He tells me all the money earned by his next cookbook will go to help kids like he was back then just looking for that one big break. Lucas wants me to ghostwrite his book.

I'd like to contribute somehow, but I've never written a cookbook. Losing my job doesn't make me desperate enough to disappear behind his. I give him a condition I'm certain he will never agree to. But then he surprises me.

Now, I'm beginning to wonder what else I might have been wrong about.

Contemporary women's fiction about careers, relationships, family and the choices that shape a life. Perfect for readers of Katherine Center and Annabel Monaghan.
