Alone with You Love You Like a Love Song

Claire Miller fell in love with Jake in the third grade. Life was on the fast track to perfect when he finally moved her out of his 'friend zone' their senior year. One hot night of reckless passion changed things between them forever. Jake rocked her world, but Claire had plans for her life and they didn't include living in the middle of nowhere, training horses. Claire wanted to see the world, and Jake needed a girl who would love both him and his way of life. Knowing she could never be what he needed, she let him go and has missed him every day since. That was seven years ago. Plenty of time for Jake to fall in love with someone new, get married, and move on.Trouble is, he did none of those things. And now that she was back in town, seeing him again stirred up all those old feelings. She was only going to be around for a few weeks and they both still wanted different things. No matter how much she wanted to be with Jake, she couldn't give up the life she'd worked so hard to build. But Jake just wouldn't be reasonable, and was relentless in his determination to get her back into his life...and his bed.Jake Walker knew the first time he saw Claire, when he was nine years old, that he wanted to marry her. Neighbors and best friends, he spent a decade by her side, growing up and falling in love with the sweetest, smartest, most incredible girl he'd ever met. Everything was perfect, right up until the day she got on an airplane headed for California and never came home. At seventeen, he let her go. But seven years later, the sight of her hit him like a punch to the gut. She was more beautiful than ever, and every cell in his body demanded that she was 'The One'. Her kisses couldn't lie, and he knew every time he touched her that the fire still blazed between them.
