First Impressions

Overwhelmed by the neighborly attentions of the cheerful and vivacious "girl next door," a man burned by love finds his passions reigniting in #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts's First Impressions. Entrepreneur Vance Banning took a residence in rural Maryland to escape business pressures-and relationships with women pursuing his bank account.

To the community, he's a moody, out-of-work carpenter with a chip on his shoulder.

To next door neighbor Shane Abbott, he's just a man who needs a little kindness in his life.

Vance's suspicions of the stunning beauty's intense interest in him start to fade when he realizes Shane's compassion is honest and joyful-giving his heart permission to experience true love.
