“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

THIS WAS IT.  THE last dress rehearsal they'd ever have in the Madrigal.  As she stood in the dressing room, surrounded by the scatter of makeup, hair products, and all the other flotsam and jetsam of costuming, Tyler wanted to weep.   It was simply too much to bear.  Once this show was over, she'd have nothing left to hang on to.  Brody would be gone, and the theater would be destroyed.  And every day she passed it, she would have a flagrant reminder that he hadn't been the man she believed him to be.


"Hurry up!" Piper hissed from the door.  "We're almost on!"


Tyler hurried through the rest of her costume change and took her position, real feather fan in hand.  The smile she forced for the number felt like it would shatter her face, but her voice, her choreography was on point.  At least now everyone would believe her lack of spark was due to the foreclosure rather than Brody.  Except for Brody, at least.
