Promises, Promises (California #2)

They met at a wild party and neither forgot the experience. Each came away with a completely different perception of what happened that night when Judith Reid, an ill-at-ease seventeen-year-old college student, captured Dev McAllister's attention. He succeeded in breaking through her icy demeanor, but the minute things heated up, she ran.

Dev tried everything he could think of to get her to go out with him, only to be rejected. He finally admitted defeat and accepted the truth as he saw it. Judith Reid was a snob, no different from all those other women he'd met through his wealthy college roommate. In fact, she was worse because she had him believing in love at first sight, when in reality, she set him up. He swore to even the score no matter how long it too.

Judith, a commercial interior designer, is lured into his grasp with the prospect of remodeling an office building Dev knows holds significance for her. However, Dev's plans backfire. And from the moment he sees her again, he's captivated and he struggles against another empty seduction.

Promises, Promises is the second in the California Series where four friends, caught in a time warp, can't move on because they're stuck on their own ideas of the perfect dream. But sometimes, life works in mysterious ways and they are forced by circumstances to change.
