Once in Love With Jessie — Sally Goldenbaum

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY

When Jessie Sager impulsively told a stranger she'd lost her job, she never expected him to offer to help. Matt Ridgefield explained he was used to finding work for his students -- but he looked more like a rugged cowboy than a Connecticut professor. And while his "big brother" intentions were nice, desire soon made a simple friendship impossible.

Matt was haunted by a tragic past and sought peace in a solitary existence. But Jessie's carefree style -- and sweet sensuality -- had him questioning those lonely nights spent in his study. She had invaded his turf and brought her feminine touch into his home. She was teaching him a lesson in love...but could he learn to take a chance on forever?
