An opposites-attract, he-falls-first, small-town Southern romance about second chances, a reluctant homecoming, and the town doctor set on winning the one woman who got away-matchmaking little girl and fried-chicken-loving dog included.
She swore off this town and happily-ever-after.
He aims to change her mind.
Autumn Maddox comes home with her career in ruins and a family history that reads like a supermarket tabloid, and she cannot afford one more disaster. Still reeling from her grandmother's death, she means to put her life back together, untangle whatever mess her sister and niece have landed in, and keep her chin up through every honey-sweet "bless your heart" the town sends her way. The one thing she hadn't planned on is her new boss-the most eligible bachelor in three counties.
Dr. Jude Southerland doesn't care which side of the tracks Autumn grew up on. She's smart, she's gorgeous, and she's everything he didn't know he was looking for-and he couldn't care less what his family, his best friend, or the Ladies' Auxiliary have to say about it. But Autumn gave up on small Southern towns and happily-ever-after a long time ago, and it's going to take a great deal more than sweet tea and sweet talk to change her mind.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Opposites-attract small-town Southern romance
- A jaded heroine and a devoted town doctor
