Auto-narrated by GooglePlay Voice Mary ? Best friends always, lovers once . . . and now? ? Seasons in a Small Town – Spring In small-town Drago, Illinois, Zeke came by his "the Geek" nickname honestly, more comfortable with algebra and algorithms than high school's social hallways. Though that didn't keep him from longing for the unattainable prom queen, Jennifer. The one person who understood his out-of-the-box brain was Darcie, his best friend and complete opposite. At high school graduation, for one night, Zeke and Darcie jolt from friends to lovers. Then he leaves town. Darcie knew her Zeke. He'd never look back, wouldn't ever see her feelings for him. Now, 17 years later, Zeke's a self-made tech billionaire, Darcie's a local cop, Jennifer's divorced and Darcie's friend. Their town is flagging, but Darcie has a plan. It starts with luring grumpy Zeke back to Drago for its annual Lilac Festival, then persuading him to boost the town's economy. Even if that means matchmaking him with the beautiful Jennifer. Even though it means having to shepherd him through this experience. Darcie will do it for him, for Jennifer, for Drago. Zeke swore he'd never come back to where he was miserable, other than his connection with Darcie. But maybe this homecoming won't be so bad. Especially spending time with Jennifer ... and Darcie. Now why did he think of Darcie when things were going so well with Jennifer? Darcie's plan doesn't get off to the best start when she puts Zeke in handcuffs, but they can get past that. For Drago's sake, they have to. Just like she'll get past wondering what if friends could have a second chance at turning to lovers again...
