Her friends know it, her parents know it—even Laura acknowledges she lives either with her head in the clouds or buried in a romance novel.

She finds she shares more than a sense of humor with him—in fact, she starts to think she could fall for him. But is Nick all he seems? Or has Laura got it wrong again? Will she open her heart only to have it broken again?
