Yesterday's Fantasy — Pamela Macaluso

A TEENAGE CRUSH

As a teenager, Melissa Ellison didn't moon over the teen idols who were popular among her friends. Her heart belonged to tall, dark Morgan Edwards, the guy who roomed with her older brother Lucas. From the day she cut his photo out of Lucas's yearbook, Melissa's dreams and fantasies were ruled by strong, ruggedly handsome Morgan Edwards. It didn't seem to matter that he was eight years older than she was -- or that he hardly seemed to notice she was alive.

Years later, when Melissa was sure that her teenage crush was a thing of the past, she agreed to marry Brian The Mighty" Marshall, the glory boy of pro baseball. Their wedding was in the works, their dream house in the planning stages, when Morgan Edwards appeared on the scene. A renowned architect, Morgan had been hired by Brian's mother to design the happy couple's new home.

The minute Melissa caught a flash from Morgan's familiar, deep blue eyes, she began to question her love for Brian. If Morgan was just yesterday's fantasy, why did her pulse race every time he brushed past her? Why did his sexy smile stir a passionate response deep inside her? Common sense told her to go through with the wedding plans she'd made before this emotional chaos hit. But in her heart, Melissa longed to call the whole thing off and make yesterday's fantasy come true.
