“Come on.” Bonnie grabs my elbow.
I follow her, only to become caught up in the celebration that will take me two more hours to escape.
They say you can take the girl out of the South, but you can’t take the South out of the girl.
This girl begs to differ.
Public relations consultant Piper Wick wants to persuade Uncle Obadiah not to change his will and humiliate the entire family. Her tenuous romance with Congressman Grant Spangler depends on it! But her uncle’s rugged, blue-eyed gardener has her thinking instead about what it means to make amends—and to forgive.
