“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

"Well, look who decided to show up." From his chair at the poker table set up on his screened in porch, Judd jerked a thumb toward the house. "There's beer and pizza."


Mitch saluted him and the rest of the gathered players before heading inside. He deposited his own six-pack in the fridge and grabbed one of the cold long-necks before loading up a paper plate with pizza from Speakeasy and carrying it back outside. He took the chair between Liam and Reuben Blanchard, who wore the dealer's hat.


"The prodigal son returns!" Liam crowed. "We were beginning to think you'd abandoned us."


Mitch so wasn't about to address the fact that he hadn't actually been to poker night since before his trip to Europe, so he'd take the ribbing as his due. "Yeah, yeah. It's good to see y'all, too." He twisted off the top and took a pull on his beer. "Cam's got a City Council meeting. Ethan coming?"
