Should She Run Him Off—Or Ask Him To Stay? Schoolteacher Johanna Macpherson has vowed that the children of Heather's Hollow will leave her school knowing the value of their Scotch-Irish heritage, but now one of those untrustworthy flatlanders is nosing around the village's mountain roads, on the trail of the legendary bootlegger Lightning Jack, and meddling in her objective. Sullivan Mooreland is pure city slicker. Ambitious and unnervingly sexy, the Seattle reporter, with his flashy red Corvette, is a sure sign of trouble to come. If Lightning Jack, her clan's most notorious moonshine maker, is exposed, everything Jo loves about the hollow will change. For the sake of the children and their future, she has to stop the handsome interloper from writing a story that will put their way of life in danger. But if she runs Sullivan off, what about her own—womanly—future?
