“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

TYLER FELT A TWINGE of instinctive annoyance at the sight of Corinne Dawson stepping into the shop, then immediately chastised herself.  This wasn't high school, or even college.  They were grown women.  The crap from years past didn't matter anymore.  So she had a friendly smile pasted on as Corinne crossed to the counter, her little boy in tow.

Kurt pressed his face against his mother's leg, but Tyler could just see the edges of a shy smile.  


Corinne glanced around the empty store.  "Slow day?"


Tyler tried to tell herself that wasn't some kind of criticism or gloat.  "We get a lull this time of day.  Was there something I could help you with?"


"Well, I hope so.  See, I've been on Pinterest."


Tyler laughed.  "Famous last words.  I think I have about a thousand projects pinned that I'll never get to."  See, easy.  Friendly.  Common ground.  This isn't so bad.  "What in particular caught your eye?"
