“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

BY THE TIME CECILY arrived at Los Pantalones, the parking lot was packed. She had to circle twice before finally snagging a space vacated by a pickup truck that'd been polished to a gleam for Friday night out on the town. Starving and tired, she was looking forward to the margarita the girls had ordered her when she'd texted she was leaving work. 


Beth was delighted with Cecily's ideas on how to effectively launch The Dixieland Biscuit Company. Norah was pleased, and that was always a nice ego stroke. As Norah got more and more tied up with other aspects of being city planner, more of the straight marketing work for local business owners was falling to Cecily. And that suited her just fine. She enjoyed putting together campaigns for ways to market on a shoestring...creating something from almost nothing. Which was about the budget that most business owners in this economically-challenged town had to work with.
