“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

"What's that frown for, sugar?" Mama Pearl nudged Hannah's shoulder. "Does somebody need some butt kickin' or some pie?"


Hannah's lips curved up at that. "There's always a reason for some of your pie."


Mama Pearl automatically lifted the dome off a beautiful lemon meringue and cut a piece. "Tell Mama Pearl what's wrong."


She loved this woman. "Nothing's wrong. At least, I don't think so. I just haven't heard back from Ryan today." 


"Ah. The soldier. You been spendin' a lot of time with him the past couple weeks. Been smilin' more, too. And with you, that's saying somethin'."


Her cheeks heated and she forked up a bite of pie. "I like him." Okay, she'd edged well past the simple stage of like, but she didn't want to think about what that meant just yet. "Anyway, we're supposed to have plans this afternoon, but he hasn't answered my texts or phone call. That's not like him. I'm starting to worry something's happened to Percy."
