Sweet and steamy is a heady combination…

Casey Walsh and Boone Murphy had a bright future together until family betrayal and tragedy tore them apart. Now, more than a decade later, the beauty school dropout runs Meadow Valley's family tavern and steers clear of the boy who once stole her heart—no small feat in such a small town. When Casey's car breaks down on the way to an important interview, she's rescued by none other than Boone himself—on what was supposed to be his wedding day…

Boone Murphy was finally going to put Meadow Valley in his rearview mirror. Except when it came time to say "goodbye" to his hometown and "I do" to his new life, he couldn't do it. Now he's back home and his only dream is winning back the girl he's always loved…
