Diana Sheldon is satisfied with her career in book publishing. She's great at managing projects and client expectations in Baltimore, but she's never quite found her groove in the romance department.
When her estranged father begrudgingly reaches out for advice with a dire financial situation, she reluctantly returns to Round Hill, Virginia. He needs help, so she'll do what she does best. Fix things.
As she gets reacquainted with the locals, she's surprised to learn the pain-in-the-ass kid she used to know can help solve her father's problems. Jesse Campbell is all grown up now and sexy as hell, and he offers a mutually beneficial partnership. All they must do is work together. How hard can that be?
Urban and country sensibilities collide and business dealings are more tangled and mysterious than originally anticipated. Diana's saddled up and ready for the ride of her life. Can this focused and disciplined workaholic learn to match Jesse's easy country canter for a chance at romance?
