“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

Somehow Tess made it through dinner without falling asleep in her plate, throwing herself at Mitch to beg his forgiveness, or otherwise saying anything that revealed their intimate association. She was calling it a win. As soon as dessert was cleared, she pushed back from the table. "This was delicious, and it was wonderful to meet all of you, but I am literally dying of jet lag right now, so I'd really like to head on to the hotel."


Sandy exchanged a look with Trey. "Oh, we thought you'd stay here with us."


Even in her state of exhaustion, Tess knew she'd offended the other woman and scrambled to find something appropriate to say that would make this better. Because she couldn't stay here in this house, watching the two of them making googly eyes at each other. "I really appreciate the offer, but I have work I need to get to early in the morning, and I was just going to hijack Dad's office at The Babylon rather than disturb anybody."
