Wanting Something More [Mass Market Paperback]

Supermodel Marty Stepp hasn't always been beautiful and rich. Growing up in Millbrook, Maine, she and the other two Stepp sisters were impoverished pariahs during high school. Abby was too smart. Ellie was too plump. And, at an awkward six feet, Marty was too tall. Teased and taunted mercilessly by the other kids at school, the three siblings had only each other for friends. But Abby and Ellie found love and marriage with local boys, and Marty has decided to give up her lucrative modeling career and come home. Nathaniel Peck was a hot item in high school, not to mention a world-class jerk, but a vicious attack and near-death experience have made Nate a different person. Just the same, Marty can't forget his cruelty to her in the past, and no matter how warm Nate is, she can't bring herself to trust him. This is the perfect ending to Love's excellent Stepp sister trilogy, following Getting What You Want (2004) and Wanting What You Get (2004). Shelley Mosley

"Kathy Love knows how to tap into the secret yearnings of the heart."

You have got to be kidding me! On a night like this, when most sane people are home to escape a blinding snowstorm, I happen to run into Millbrook's biggest jerk, Nathaniel Peck, the boy who broke my heart at my junior prom. The one who kissed me on a dare and let his buddies laugh at me. Well, eat dirt, Nathaniel Peck, because you might have noticed me on the covers of a few magazines under the heading: Supermodel. I live in New York City now. I will be leaving as soon as the weather clears. And frankly, if it were a choice between kissing you or braving downed electrical wires, I'd have to think about it. It's official: I've regressed. It's just that I can't stand the Cult of Nathaniel Peck that has come over this town. Okay, so he is Chief of Police. So he did make sure I got home safely. So he didn't try anything funny with me. So that old smirk has been replaced by a sexy, sad smile...No. People just do not change that much. Somewhere inside Nate is the same leering, conniving womanizer I remember. And I intend to prove it...
