The Comeback Kiss
by Lani Diane Rich
Eleven years after taking Tessa Jones' car--and her virginity--and skipping town, Dermot Finnegan's guilt gets the best of him. Planning on quietly returning Tessa's car, Finn's quiet exit from town is ruined when he becomes a town hero. Original.From BooklistTessa Scuderi's life changed on one night 10 years ago when her best friend, Finn, took off with her beloved VW bug and her heart. It was also the night her mother died while fleeing a fire in her craft shop. Now Finn is back. While he was gone, Tessa has been raising her little sister, Izzy, and worrying that any false move will put her sister into the state's hands. So she's not ready to welcome back Finn and his connection to her troublemaking teenage days. Sparks fly though--literally and figuratively. On Finn's first day in town, he saves a burning pet shop and shares a passionate kiss with Tessa, and that's only the beginning. Rich, the author of Maybe Baby (2005), expertly blends romance and mystery, and this charming coming-home-again tale is a winner. Aleksandra KostovskiCopyright © American Library Association.
