Lex Carson came to Tarry Farm in Maine to claim his inheritance - and on a secret mission. He found there auburn haired, high hearted Melissa Barclay who had lived with his aunt until her death. The moment he saw Lissa he knew that he wanted to keep her - forever. and Lissa found him strangely disturbing and realized that for the first time she was deeply in love. But she thought his heart was elsewhere and he, busy with secret government investigations, had little time for lovemaking. "Give me one summer," he begged, knowing that he wanted all her summers - and all the charm and gayety and humor that were hers. For both it was a period of enchantment mixed with doubts and heartaches and finally, complete understanding. (#00002387)
