“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

But tonight...  Tonight was the rehearsal of the cast party engagement scene.  Tonight she'd kiss Brody. Kissing Tucker wouldn't have been a big deal.  Like kissing her brother.  Just exactly the kind of 1950s TV peck the role called for.  She wouldn't feel anything kissing Tucker.


But Brody...  There was too much history, too much chemistry between them.  She'd seen it in his face that night at the hotel.  Yet he hadn't acted on it.  And part of her had been grateful for the fact that he hadn't pushed the issue and made her confront this.  


Now, however, she'd have to confront it head on.  With an audience.  Awesome.


It would be fine.  She would be fine.  It was just a scene in a play.  She was just a character.  She popped a breath mint and stepped into the auditorium.
