Three years have passed and the Montgomery twins search her out, confessing their love and wanting her back. Tesa has never forgotten Erik and Sean and seeing them again only renews her passion.

Chapter 1

Tesa Reynolds closed the cabinet and wiped her forearm across her brow. The air conditioning had been on the blink for the past two hours and it was heating up terribly in the restaurant kitchen. She carried the pie plates over to the pastry station and began assembling the strawberry tarts. If that repairman doesn't hurry, I'll have to send everybody home and close the restaurant for the night. She grimaced. Business hadn't been so good that she could afford to close for the evening. New York was having a heat wave and every aging cooling system was choosing that time to break down. And little establishments like Caleigh were moved to the bottom of the repair list.

It wasn't fair, but then neither was life. Tesa chuckled and shook her head. She tried to keep thoughts like that out of her mind and concentrate on what she was doing. She picked up a plump strawberry and admired it, then poked it into her mouth. Closing her eyes, she savored the sweetness on her tongue.

I just heard from the repairman, Tesa.

Tesa turned as Janet Bishop rushed into the room. Janet was the hostess at Caleigh and a close, personal friend. They had roomed together in college, then, when Tesa decided to leave the university in lieu of studying at The Culinary Institute in Paris, Janet promised she would come work for her if she returned to the States and opened her own restaurant. Three years abroad had earned her a chef's degree in pastry creations. Caleigh was her brainchild. She sunk every penny she could beg, borrow and steal into getting the restaurant up and running.

Please tell me he's on his way, Tesa said, pausing and looking at Janet.

Janet shook her head. He won't be here until tomorrow afternoon. She wrinkled up her nose. I hate politics, Tesa. I know damn well politics are involved in this somehow.

Tesa sighed and wiped her hands. Glancing at the tarts she had assembled, she bit her lip. Well, lock the door. We can't possibly open tonight with the air conditioner on the blink. She turned to the massive wall oven and slid the two trays of tarts inside. I hate to keep heating up this room, but I have to get these baked. At least I won't have to come in early and bake tomorrow. She turned to Janet. Cancel the reservations for the evening. And call Carl. There's no sense in him coming in.

Carl already called. He's at the hospital with his wife. The baby is on the way and he won't leave her side.

Tesa smiled. Carl and Lilly had been trying to have a child for two years, the length of time she had been fighting to
