“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

"STATUS OF AD SPACE for Thursday's edition. Go." Myles hurled the Koosh ball at Wes Collier's head.


Wes snagged it out of the air with the practiced ease of a seasoned short stop, which was the position he played in the local softball league. "We've still got a half page open on page two, a couple of eighths available toward the middle and a quarter page ad empty in the sports section."


Myles' phone vibrated and his fingers itched to pick it up, but he kept his attention focused on his staff.


"Hit up Adele Daly to see if she wants to run any kind of specials for The Mudcat in honor of March Madness for the sports opening," Myles ordered. "The weather's warming up, so the Co-op may have some kind of sale going on with spring plantings. Call Abe Costello to check on that. Cam Crawford at the nursery, too. And Speakeasy might want to announce the weekend's specials."
