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?
