“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

RILEY STARED IN DISBELIEF at the empty storage unit. Well, empty but for the roach carcasses, spider webs, and other things best not to contemplate. Years of her family history had collected dust in there, and Liam and Judd had emptied all of it in half an hour. 


Liam circled around the little U-haul to join her. "Did we miss something?" 


"You seem to be not entirely happy about that," he observed.


"I'm fine. I just keep expecting to wake up and find out this was all a dream." Because she just couldn't quite wrap her mind around a reality in which her mom was about to be completely self-sufficient.


"No dream. A fact which I intend to prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt later tonight."


Judd stuck his head out from the cab of the U-haul. "Quit talkin' sexy to your woman, man. It's too damned hot to wait around for that."


Liam cheerfully flipped him off. "If we're good to roll, then Judd and I are gonna head on over to the apartment."
