"Bad boy" Jack Paradies had a painful past in Cold War covert activity. When he returned to his hometown of Syclone, Nebraska, USA, few people recognized him. Those who did, remembered his wry humor and adolescent misconduct, but no one knew how far his dark side had taken him. His exquisite self-control might have kept those events locked away forever--If it were not for Jade Ratigan. Jade Ratigan, divorced mother of precocious and beguiling Lucy, operated a Cyclone tavern. Once a tomboy, Jade was raised close to the heart of an alcoholic father who deserted the family. Jade did not have the reckless spirit she once admired in her father, and though she could not let herself reconcile with him, she leaned hard toward the bad-boy type. She would soon find that Jack Paradies was that, and so much more.
