Cassie Everson works at a youth center that specifically helps teen girls from dysfunctional families. She notices when the girls come into the center after school and worries when any of the girls don't show up. Cassie is also single and has been on the dating merry-go-round so long that she's about to decide to stay single. Then she sees a firefighter outside her office window while she's talking to her friend, Bree. She points to him and tells Bree that HE is the man she needs.
The firefighter happened to be Jett, a man who went to school with Cassie, just a couple of years behind her. He remembered her controlling the floor as a basketball player and her moves still fascinate him.
In Cassie's dating profile, she says that she doesn't want children--not because she truly doesn't want them, but because she's unable to have them. Jett reads that and feels that he met his soul-mate. When he shows up for their first date, Cassie leaves him standing by the front door of the center. Not to be dissuaded from seeing Cassie, Jett sets up another date at a basketball court. Unfortunately, Cassie gets a phone call that requires her to leave in the middle of the game they were playing. One of her girls needed help and right now.
Melissa has written a book with a fast-paced plot, an intrigue that keeps the reader involved, and sweet surprises all the way through. Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a Brady Bunch wedding at a drive-through wedding chapel.
