'Go home and grow up, kid' - Torey remembered the harsh words and voice as if it were yesterday. That was California, life in the fast lane, days on the beach, that awful evening with J. B. Now she was back, and grown up, but she still recalled the humiliation ... she couldn't help it, Jake Brosnan was there to remind her. He had not changed, it seemed, in spite of a failed marriage and the five-year-old son he had to bring up on his own. But she still found herself attracted to him. Lightning wasn't supposed to strike in the same place twice - but it seemed that, as far as Jake was concerned, Torey was the exception to the rule.
