DragonFly Heart

They're both lucky in life but unlucky in love-unless they give each other a second chance. Adele Backwoods lives the career most actresses would envy, working full-time in the cast of a musical theater company. She just didn't expect her free time to be so lonely. When her childhood friend, Peggy, falls ill and needs someone to watch her godson for a few days, Adele rushes back to Long Beach, California-and runs straight into Clayton, her childhood sweetheart and Peggy's brother.
Their first romance ended when Adele refused to follow Clayton to D. C. after College. Still, she decides there's no harm in hooking up. Only for the summer. Hearts not involved. Then she receives an offer to be the lead in a Broadway show. She'd have to move to NYC and leave Clayton behind. Suddenly, Adele's not as impartial to Clayton as she thought. not even with her future on the line. Clayton Elliot hasn't left his lobbying job to go back to his hometown since College.
His sister Peggy's cancer treatment comes before his bad memories, though, and he returns to Long Beach to be there for her. The fact that Adele-Peggy's best friend and his ex-would be in California too doesn't occur to him until they're face-to face again. He vows he won't make the same mistake twice. But Adele's still the sexy, ambitious woman who sparks a fire in Clayton whenever they're together.
Why not live in the present and enjoy each other, no strings attached?Because neither of them wants to change careers, for one. And it's usually more than "just a fling" if you've never stopped loving them.
