“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

TREY MEANT TO LEAVE at a respectable hour. Really, he did. But somewhere after round two, as he lay curled with Sandy in her bed, filling in the gaps of what they'd done with their lives in the past decades, he convinced himself it would be okay, as long as he left in the wee hours, so the neighbors wouldn't see his car in the morning. Except he'd fallen asleep, wrapped tight around his wife, and somehow dawn was breaking.


"You have to go!" Sandy tried shoving him out of bed.


Trey just tugged her back and rolled her beneath him. "I can think of much better ways to start the morning."


She gave a moan that was half frustration, half arousal before slapping him on the ass and shoving again. "If Delia Watson next door sees your car here, it's going to be all over town by breakfast that you spent the night with the mayor."


"I spent the night with my wife." Saying it still made him grin like ten kinds of idiot.
