Only a Crush

My life is over. At least my life as a child actress. Because guess what? I haven't been a child for years, but no seems able to forget the curly haired little girl I was on that insipid sitcom.



So when my best friend from high school invites me to the tiny mountain town where she's settled to attend the opening of some fancy new ski resort? I go, hoping maybe in nowheresville, Colorado, no one will remember who I used to be.



And when I meet the handsome and broody Harrison Ketcher, I think I've gotten my wish. They call him "Brainiac" so it's no surprise he never watched the show. He was too busy memorizing physics books, I guess.



He's a former fighter pilot slash engineering professor on sabbatical in Kasper Ridge, and despite being a few years older than the guys I usually date, there's something irresistible about him. Maybe it's that he has no idea who I am. Maybe it's those steely blue eyes. Maybe it's the feeling that I'm the only person in the world who makes him laugh in that low, sexy way.



But the closer I get to Harrison, the more certain I am that I'm not the only one keeping secrets. He doesn't know who I am... but do I really know who he is?
