Best Revenge

Ann Weaver knows getting ditched by Jack Bloom back in high school was for the best. He may have been her first, but she's twenty-nine now and way over him. When a night out with friends-and a couple of glasses of wine-starts them all talking about regrets, Ann decides it's time to confront the past. Luckily, hers has recently moved back to town, and he looks just as good as ever. There's something different about Jack, though. He's funny, kind, and amazing in bed-but he's also sweeter than she remembers. Soon Ann starts to forget she's in it for revenge. Jack is older and wiser now, and he's ready to do whatever it takes for a chance at a future with very grown-up, gorgeous Ann. But once Jack learns about her motive for rekindling their romance, he has to decide if love can push through the lie. Contains mature themes.
