About the book
WHEN IS A KISS JUST A KISS?
Back in sleepy Weaver, Wyoming, for his father's wedding, rich and handsome Tristan Clay found himself unaccountably attracted to bespectacled Hope Leoni -- a homespun, hometown schoolmarm! With every fiber of his astonished being, he craved her innocent kiss. Just a kiss -- nothing more. Tristan knew better than to flirt further with such sweet, virginal temptation... especially in this town. Yet in one short week his sensual attention compromised Hope's hard-won reputation, jeopardizing her job. And suddenly -- though wedding bells gave him the willies -- the only way to make things right... was to make Hope his wife!
