It looks like Gabriel isn't going anywhere fast. Meanwhile, he's stunned to find that the hotel's new receptionist is Daisy, the girl he fell in love with years earlier in Vietnam. But falling in love with someone who is tied to Jersey is the last thing he wants... isn't it? Previously published as A Jersey Bombshell.
