That James Boy

MOONLIGHT AND ROSES

Sarah McFadden would never forget the teenage antics of her older brother, Trace, and his best friend, Jesse. Both had always had a passion for fast cars and cute girls. And Jesse James had lived up to the legend of his name by stealing the heart of every girl in Castlerock, Iowa. When Jesse had turned eighteen, he couldn't shake the local dust fast enough. He'd moved on to see the world and try his hand at business.

Now "that James boy" was back, ready to set up shop and settle down in his own hometown. But he quickly found yet a different challenge: the courtship of Sarah McFadden! She'd grown from a tomboy with braces to an irresistible blue-eyed beauty. And Jesse suspected that beneath her no-nonsense attitude lurked a feminine heart that longed for a little romance . . . moonlight . . . roses.

Sarah had vowed never to fall in love with a heartbreaker like Jesse. She tried to resist, but Jesse wasn't just any handsome stranger. He knew her family, her neighbors . . . her past. And he knew how to stir the dreams of a small-town girl into the full-blown passions of a woman.
