Chapter One

No one wants to take a risk on The Girl Most Likely to Have Fun...except the one person in the world she'd rather not ask.

Katie Buick dreams of opening her own restaurant, but finding a financial backer is proving impossible. Until she makes a final, desperate plea to businessman Ric Emerson-the boy whose heart she broke in their senior year.

Ric's worked hard to shed his high school image and become a success, and when Katie's business proposal crosses his desk, he's on board. What happened before is water under the bridge, right? But as they build the business, chemistry simmers between them, blurring the lines between personal and professional.

Can Ric trust Katie with his heart again, and give them a second chance at happiness?
