Landing my dream job was surpringly easy. Having to relocate to the small town of Hickory Hills, GA? Not so much. But I'm a woman on a mission, and nothing is going to get in my way. Until Noel Keller barges into my life. As a born-and-bred northerner, I have a lot to learn about southern ways. A fact that is on display every time Noel rescues me from some sort of mishap. It's hard to ignore the goosebumps when I hear that smooth southern drawl of his. Especially when he calls me honey. And don't even get me started on his athletic build. Or that confident smolder that's enough to overpower the southern summer heat, secretly fueling all my fantasies. But none of that matters. I'm here to do a job. That's it. I've been hurt before and I'm not about to go down that road again. Except plans have a way of changing. Even when you try your hardest to push them away.
