Conflict of Hearts

Lizzie attends her father's wedding but has doubts about his new partner. She runs into Peter, her childhood friend, at the wedding, too. He once proposed to Lizzie, but now he introduces her to his wife. Lizzie is flustered, but her stepmother's younger brother, Noah, helps her save face. He pretends to be her boyfriend and leads her away, following the act with a tempting and seductive kiss. His kiss is nothing like Peter's-it's like nothing she's experienced before. She never expected to be attracted to such a disagreeable man, and yet there's something that draws her to him...
