I really liked this one and have put Rachel Gibson on my TBR list. The characters are endearing (especially poor Georgeanne) and the story, while a little slow at times, is engaging.

From the back cover:
“Georgeanne Howard, charm school graduate and Southern belle extraordinaire, leaves her fiance at the alter when she realizes she just can’t marry a man old enough to be her grandfather, no matter how rich he is. John Kowalsky unknowingly helps her escape, and only when it’s too late does he realize that he’s absconded with his boss’s bride. At the height of his hockey career, this bad boy isn’t looking to be anyone’s savior but his own, no matter how beautiful this angel may be. But a long night stretches ahead of them—a night too sultry to resist temptation.

“When Georgeanne and John meet again, she is on her way to ecoming Seattle’s domestic darling and he is past his hellraising days. But he is shocked to learn that their single unforgettable night in paradise produced a daughter, and he is determined to be a part of her life. Georgeanne has loved John since the moment she jumped into his little red Corvette seven years ago, but she doesn’t want to risk her heart again. Is he really a changed man? And will he risk the wrath of his boss, and one final chance at glory, to prove that this time his love will be everlasting?”
