In Strawberry Valley, Oklahoma, Brook Lynn Dillon has spent a
lifetime getting her older sister Jessie Kay out of one trouble after
another. So she is not surprised to
learn that intoxicated Jessie Kay is at the flat shared by three roommates (Jase
Hollister, Lincoln West and Beck Ockley).
Without causing further problems, Brook Lynn extracts her drunken sister
from the bachelors’ pad though to her astonishment she is attracted to Jase.
An ex-con who spent years behind bars for manslaughter, starting
over Jase is even more amazed that he wants seemingly straight-laced Brook
Lynn. He weighs asking her out against
staying single; as he begins his new life without commitments except for his
vow of no criminal activity.
Rationalizing she will reject him the moment she learns of his deadly
past, Jase tries but fails to ignore his feelings.
This Original Heartbreakers Sooner romance (see e-novella: The One You Want) is an appealing contemporary
as the audience meets the prime series cast and the small-town when Brook Lynn crashes
Jase’s residence like infantry charging the enemy with a rescue in mind. The key to this superb second chance at life is
the depth of the intermingled and somewhat mangled relationships between the
protagonists, her sister and his roommates; especially to the delight of fans how
love befuddles Brook Lynn and Jase.
