Violets Are Blue — Hilary Cole

When actress Maggie London finally comes home, she never dreams she'll be facing Alex Graham across a community stage. Eight years earlier, pride and bitter betrayal ended their youthful passion. Now, she's determined to deny the love his violet gaze still draws from her very soul.

Maggie's used to playing roles, but when Alex embraces her on stage, the sweet memories and desperate desire his kisses evoke are more than make-believe. And with the whole town in collusion, he seems destined to win back her heart. But can he accept the secret she's borne alone all these years? Can they possibly recapture the golden promise of their first and forever love?
