by SusanDonovan (Author)
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 former 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 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.
