Late Night Rendezvous — Margaret Malkind

How dare he accuse her mother of being a seductress, out to tempt his father into sin... and a second career as a comedy writer? But once Mia's eyes met Boyd's, she was moonstruck, spellbound, eager to team up with him for any reason at all. She agreed that her mother had no business performing in a late-night comedy club, then discoing the night away in his dad's arms, but when Boyd kissed her breathless in the library and under a starry sky, she had to wonder if it wasn't time she stopped playing the old maid and lived her life as daringly as her mother did. Boyd teased her, thrilled her, taught her how it felt to be cherished, but she'd never forgotten the pain of losing a dream. She'd always chosen duty over pleasure-was she ready to take a chance on endless love?
