A Single Demand by Margaret Allison ~ Silhouette Desire #1637 ~ February 2005

Growing up and staying in her small hometown suited Cassie just fine, including taking pride in her job and aspiring to become a master weaver.  Only her former fiance has decided to sell the family textile mill which will leave many families without work and put an end to a beautiful craft.  So Cassie travels to the Bahamas to plead the workers cases to the new owner, but she's barred from seeing him.  On the eve of her return to the US, she meets a handsome bartender and instantly feels a bond with him.  They share a beautiful evening together, and Cassie leaves before he awakes, and before they learn each other's name.   It's a shock for Cassie and her mysterious bartender when they meet again. Her one night lover turns out to be the new mill owner and he's determined to close the mill permanently. 

This is a lovely story about two people on very different paths.  Cassie is in love with the history and sense of family pride the mill represents not just to her but to the other families in her town.  Hunter is a man who made his own fortune and had lost sight of his own youthful ideals.  Of course when you read Hunter's vow, "you make me want to be a better man", you know they'll live HEA!
