“Failure” has never been a part of Norah Burke’s vocabulary, so it comes as quite a shock when she gets fired from the marketing firm where she's built her career after threatening to blow the whistle on some shady business practices. Licking her wounds, she heads South for a little home-grown comfort.

Cam Crawford is a man who values tradition, preservation, and the love of a good woman. He’s not about to let a big box warehouse store capitalize on his hometown's economic downturn. He'll raise hell if he has to in order to stop them from destroying what he holds dear.

This unlikely pair just might be the perfect allies—in war and out. But will this city girl's bigger-picture perspective go with this small-town boy's "keep it as it is" attitude? And even if they can send the suits packing, can she really give up her corner office and power lunches for the corner booth at the local diner?

Wishful Romance

NORAH LEFT MOLLY'S PRIMED to knock Cam down a few pegs and make him listen, whether he wanted to or not. So the fact that he wasn't home put a real crimp in her plans. Since she'd rashly left her key after packing her stuff, there was no waiting inside. Damn it.


So she sat in her car. Courtesy of the fact that half her stuff was in the back, she had plenty of clothes to layer for warmth. The temper helped. Her phone kept blowing up with calls and texts from the Campbell clan. She hadn't listened to the voicemails and hadn't answered the texts. Given that the theme of most had been Are you okay? Norah figured that despite Molly's promise of secrecy, someone else had blabbed something. Maybe Liam had spoken to Mitch. She wasn't talking to any of them until she'd talked to Cam himself and had the chance to pry his head out of his ass.
