Marrying a local guy and settling in her hometown has never appealed to Charlotte Russell. She's got a good job in the cityuntil a crisis forces her return to the family farm. She's not back long before the well–laid plans for her future fall apart. And she holds Mayor Gray Van Dusen responsible.

In fairness, the gorgeous man hasn't deliberately messed up her plans. But his very active pursuit of her is sparking all kinds of strange urges. Such as the urge to abandon her urban life. The urge to see where these intense feelings between them could lead. And the strangest urge of all: to have a white picket fence in the last place she'd ever thought to settle.
