The Sweetheart Deal

About the book

"In kindergarten, Jake Harper declared his intention to marry Vanessa Conroy one day. However, Vanessa, scarred by her parents' bitter divorce, vowed never to tie the knot. She was determined to focus on her career as a fashion designer. Throughout high school, Vanessa dated a string of bad boys while Jake remained a loyal friend. They had a close bond, but Vanessa was reluctant to risk their friendship. On the night of their prom, Jake took a chance and kissed her, prompting Vanessa to suggest a pact: if they were both single at thirty, they would consider marriage. Fast forward thirteen years, and they find themselves back in Sweetheart Bay for Vanessa's sister's wedding, both still unattached. As old feelings resurface, Vanessa starts to see Jake in a new light. Will they finally explore the possibility of a future together, or will Vanessa's fear of commitment stand in the way of true love?"
