Sun-drenched beaches, designer-label clothes,
drop-dead-gorgeous boy-toys…all paid for with a series of
high-risk real estate deals. That’s the lifestyle Cherise
Newberry and her BFF Candy enjoy after leaving rural North
Carolina for Tampa—until the market tanks and they lose
everything. Cheri is surviving on Ramen Noodles and temp
jobs when she gets a call from home to come back and run the
family’s small-town newspaper. Just one catch: She’ll become
the boss of her high school crush—and formerÂ
brother-in-law—who might have the power to crush her all
over again…But Cheri is surprised to see how “bad boy” J.J.
DeCourcy has grown into the hard-working and principled
managing editor of The Bigler Bugle. Still, according to
Cheri’s bitter sister, he’s not to be trusted. If Cheri’s
going to co-exist at the with this sexier-than-ever man from
her past, she needs to stay professional—and keep her
distance —even though he sets her on fire. When they’re
handed the biggest news story in the town’s history, Cheri
must trust J.J., even it means putting her life in
danger.…and her heart on the line.
