Birds of a Feather — Linda Randall Wisdom

A simple kiss! Compared to the kisses of other men, Ben Sinclair's kisses were like fireworks on the Fourth of July. And yet Jess Maddox had all but asked for it. Seventeen years ago he'd stood her up at her senior prom. Now, suddenly, he was back. The high school beauty was now a young widow with a name in California as a trainer of exotic birds.

From the first, sparks and feathers flew. But she'd changed. No longer a young girl, she was a woman who cherished her career, her independence. Would Ben insist she give up everything for him, or was this a love that could take flight into the future?
