“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?

Beside her, Mitch clicked stop on the rolling credits. "You actually like this movie? Why?"


She sniffed and sat up, reaching for the box of tissues on the coffee table. "It's a classic, and sometimes you just need a good cry."

"There are worse ways to spend a Saturday night. I'm game. But I want to go call my mom first." She rose to head upstairs, but Mitch grabbed her hips and pulled her close to press a kiss to her belly.


"Does Eugenia Delphine want popcorn when she comes back?"


"Obi-Wan Kal-el will never turn down popcorn."


His look of adoration was almost, almost as good as the words she'd yet to hear. He pressed a kiss to her palm and let her go. "I'll make it and get the movie set up while you chat with your mom."
