Sometimes chance brings us together with the people who'll come to mean most to us in the strangest ways. Like the way it brought together Liana Banner and Nate Harden: She was an interior designer from New York, come home to her family's suburban farmhouse for the summer to rest, recuperate, and recover. A few weeks of home-cooked meals, sun-drenched afternoons, and dips in the local pond would cure the ills that ailed her. The pond was on the neighbors' property, of course. Liana had known the old owner before he'd passed away -- and all she knew about the new owner that that the land had been bought by a real estate investment trust. She didn't know the new owner was in town; she never would have guessed that sort of a tycoon would actually live on a rural investment property. Liana never would have dreamed his turquoise eyes watched her as she slipped sky-clad into the pond.
