Why Not Tonight?

A book in the 24 Hours Blackout series, 2005

Dear Reader,

We don’t often think of twenty-four hours as being a long period of time. After all, it’s just one day. But if we consider how drastically things can change in the mere blink of an eye, in a single heartbeat, it brings home the fact that the events that can occur during a twenty-four-hour period have the power to transform our lives. Especially if those events include the unexpected reappearance of The One Who Got Away. And even more so if those events are aided by a sudden blackout.

When former lovers Adam Clayton and Mallory Altman run into each other years later, neither initially believes that spending a mere twenty-four hours together will change the individual paths they’ve chosen for themselves. But throw in a heat wave, a blackout and a heap of overwhelming, sensually charged memories, and you have a recipe for a hot, dark excuse to relive some of those unforgettable, scorching past times. After all, it’s only for twenty-four hours-what could be the harm? Adam and Mallory are about to find out.

I hope you enjoy their journey, and that it inspires you to turn out the lights and make some romantic memories of your own.

Enjoy,

Jacquie D’Alessandro
