He was on top of the world, until it all shattered with the sudden death of his wife. Now he's back in Georgia, running his bar and trying to take care of his family. And he needs all the help he can get. Rilla Grant's never been farther than twenty miles from her family's farm. Her overprotective father wants her to marry their church's youth pastor and settle down into the life he's chosen for her, but she's not sure that's what she wants anymore. Rilla's chafing to make her own choices, and that includes starting her own PR business and maybe even moving off the farm, no matter how much her dad hates it. When Mason asks Rilla to work on some promotion for his bar, she's both excited and terrified. Excited, because it's just the opportunity she's wanted, and terrified because Mason, with his electric blue eyes and drool-worthy body, is the kind of guy who makes her knees weak and her heart pound. He's the only one who's ever tempted Rilla to defy her family, and when she does just that by moving in to help take care of his daughter, they're both forced to make a decision that'll change their lives forever. Sometimes love isn't the easy choice. Sometimes it's the only one. less
