“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?
