When Elizabeth Wakefield wins a summer fellowship to produce her play in New York City, no one is more surprised than she is. It's an offer Elizabeth can't refuse, even though she and Tom Watts vowed to spend the summer together. So Tom gives up his prestigious summer internship to be with her! Will Elizabeth have to give up something in return - and make a sacrifice she's not yet ready for?

New York City just got a little hotter . . .

As the cab screeched into motion, Tom's lips found Elizabeth's. He kissed her passionately, with all the pent-up yearning he usually tried hard to hold back. It was unimaginably wonderful to know that for once he wouldn't be going back to his room alone and frustrated.
His hands ran down her arms, around her waist, and up the back of her sweater. Elizabeth shivered, and for a second Tom was afraid she was going to push him away. Then she sighed and seemed to melt against his chest.
I feel like I've died and gone to heaven, Tom reflected as they dissolved into another urgent, searching kiss. And we're not even home yet!

Tom gazed at Elizabeth, momentarily unable to speak. Her eyes were shining, her hair was tousled, and her face was flushed. Tom didn't think he had ever seen a more beautiful sight.
"Remember, this is just the beginning," he murmered, tracing the contours of her kiss-stung lips with his fingertip. "It's going to get even better."
