Itโs 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 Cottonbloomโand now, as mayor, sheโs 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 wasnโt being undermined by Sawyer Fournette, whoโs 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 sheโs had it with himโno matter how much she enjoyed those stolen hours in his truck bed, so many years agoโฆ
Sawyer knows that Regan's never forgiven him for breaking her heartโbut despite his reputation as a low-class swamp rat, heโd 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 backโฆand the rest of her too, if she can ever let go of her distrust. But will a common enemy be enough to unite themโand finally fulfill the promises they made one passionate night under the stars?
