MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S MAGIC by Virginia Kantra - Janet Porter has found herself away from the sanctuary of the library where she works and halfway up a mountain late at night with a broken down car.

Unbelievably, the man is Ross McClean, the boyfriend, except he hasn't aged. Janet, still in love with Ross, gives in to passion.
