“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

"TO TWO WEEKS OF an empty house." Riley raised her wine glass to Autumn's.


"It's hardly been empty. Liam's stayed over every night." She waggled her eyebrows and smirked.


Riley's cheeks heated. "Fine, to two weeks of a house free of parental units."


"I'll drink to that." Autumn tapped her glass and sipped. "Now, details, woman. I'm living vicariously through you, so hold nothing back."


Riley shot a look around Speakeasy, but nobody in the pizzeria was listening to their conversation over the currently heinous rendition of "The Boys Are Back In Town" screeching out of the karaoke speakers. "I'm not giving you the down and dirty on our love life."


Clapping her hands together, Autumn brightened with interest. "Ooo, so there's dirty? You naughty girl. Dish."
