Itβs summertime in Cottonbloom, where two lovers find themselves at a crossroads just as things start to heat up. . .
Regan Lovell grew up on the wealthy Mississippi side of Cottonbloomβand now, as mayor, sheβs determined to save it from the fate of so many small towns. Part of her plan to help the local economy is the Labor Day tomato festival. If only she wasnβt being undermined by Sawyer Fournette, whoβs planning a crayfish-themed celebration on the Louisiana side of the river on the very same weekend. The pranks and sabotage are getting out of hand, and sheβs had it with himβno matter how much she enjoyed those stolen hours in his truck bed, so many years agoβ¦
Sawyer knows that Regan's never forgiven him for breaking her heartβbut despite his reputation as a low-class swamp rat, heβd never hurt the woman who still secretly drives him crazy with desire. Someone in Cottonbloom has it out for her, though, and Sawyer intends to watch her backβ¦and the rest of her too, if she can ever let go of her distrust. But will a common enemy be enough to unite themβand finally fulfill the promises they made one passionate night under the stars?
