“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

Myles looked up at Patty, not really seeing her. "Okay."


She stepped into his office. "Jesus Christ, Myles, are you really meeting with the man like that?"


Wearing the same rumpled clothes from yesterday because he'd been up here all night replaying every moment of his relationship with Piper, trying to sort out where he'd gone wrong? Unshowered, unshaved? "Yep."


Bondurant ought to consider himself lucky Myles wasn't drunker than Cooter Brown. The urge to drown his sorrows in the scotch hanging out in his bottom desk drawer had been strong. But on the off chance that Piper decided she was ready to talk, he needed to be capable of driving.


Patty shut the door and crossed over, laying a hand on his brow in a universal maternal thermometer. "What's wrong?"


The woman I love has left me, and I don't know why. I find I don't really give a rat's ass about anything else.
