When the new girl in town, Eliza Izzy Forrester decides to hit the local drinking hole, shes not ready to meet the towns good, solid guy. Shes definitely not prepared to engage in her very first hookup with him.

Then Izzy wakes up the next morning in Johnny Gambles bed and good girl Izzy finds she likes being bad for Johnny.

Even so, Izzy feels Johnny holding her at arms length. But Johnny makes it clear he wants more and Izzy already knows she wants as much of hot-in-bed, sweet-out-of-it Johnny Gamble.

Floating on air thinking this is going somewhere, Izzy quickly learns why Johnny holds distant.

Hes in love with someone else. Someone who left him and did it leaving him broken. Whoever was up next would be runner up, second best. Knowing the stakes, Izzy will take what she can get from the gentleman thats Johnny Gamble. And even knowing his heart might never mend, Johnny cant seem to stay away from Izzy.

Until out of nowhere, his lost love comes back to town. Hes not going back, but Johnny still knows the right thing to do is let Izzy go.

And Izzy knew the stakes, so she makes it easy and slips through his fingers.

But thats before Johnny realizes Eliza moved to town to escape danger thats been swirling around her.

And thats why Johnny decides to wade in.

That and the fact Eliza Forrester makes breakfast with a canary singing on her shoulder and fills out tight dresses in a way Johnny Gamble cannot get out of his head.
