Moonlight Melody

Singing at night with Blue Moon, a local 50s-style band, leaves Denise Reynolds free to spend all day at the beach with handsome lifeguard Joe Ormand. For the first time in her seventeen years Denise is falling in love, and she's never been happier.But when Joe's former girlfriend reappears on the scene, Denise finds herself singing the blues. Will she be able to keep Joe's love if pretty popular Cara wants him back?*****--Excerpt--Denise sat up straight and abruptly turned to face Joe. "By the way, about last night. I hope you don't think I was being--well, too direct about you and Cara."Joe laughed. "Not at all. We had fun for a while, but she's not my type. We're through." Joe pulled Denise a little closer. "Does that answer the question you didn't ask?"Denise blushed. "I just like to know how things stand. It's always better to have as much information as possible when you're deciding what to think about something--or someone.""So what do you think?" Joe whispered in her ear."I'm sure you know," Denise whispered back. She looked up at him, taking in his warm smile and sweet friendly eyes. And when he leaned over and kissed her--tenderly, meaningfully, perfectly--she closed her eyes, not wanting to disturb the deliciousness of the moment.
