“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?

It started on the flight here - I came from London early last week - and every time I think I've shaken it, it comes back. Last night I couldn't even keep down my dinner." A fact she'd been strangely compelled to hide from Mitch. Maybe because once she'd thrown up, she felt fine. Brushed teeth, mouthwash, and back to the plan - which had been well worth not derailing. Still, she'd been nauseous again this morning, so she couldn't keep blaming it on benign causes. Something wasn't right.


Piper went brows up. "When that happened to me it turned out to be Parker."
