What Are Friends For?

Seasons in a Small Town - Spring
In rural Drago, Illinois, Zeke came by his "the Geek" nickname honest, more comfortable in the world of algebra and algorithms than high school's social hallways. Though that didn't keep him from longing for the unattainable prom queen, Jennifer.
The one person who did understand his out-of-the-box brain was Darcie, his best friend.
After their high school graduation, Zeke and Darcie for one night jolted from friends to lovers. And then he left town, and she knew he couldn't look back. What he didn't know was the depth of Darcie's feelings for him.
Now it's 17 years later, and Zeke's a self-made billionaire founder of a tech security firm, Darcie's a local cop and Jennifer's a divorced mom of a tween girl. And their little town is flagging.
At Darcie's urging, Zeke returns to Drago to boost its economy. Will his new wealth attract the still-beautiful Jennifer? Or will Darcie, the one girl who always made him feel at ease, show him that true love knows no boundaries?
