Book description
Marilee James has a complicated life--caring for her special-needs son,
playing surrogate mother to an abandoned niece and temporarily running
the local paper until the new managing editor arrives. She's so busy
attending to everyone else that her own yearnings get pushed aside. Then
Tate Holloway comes speeding into town in his bmw, bringing his
whiz-bang laptop, journalistic integrity and the thrill of remembering
what running a small-town newspaper is all about. Tate's a firm believer
in the little things that make life worthwhile: overripe peaches, a good
dog, a passionate kiss. The kinds of things he thinks Marilee needs to
rediscover--with him. Problem is, she's already engaged. Not about to
let a little thing like a fianc stand in his way, Tate sets out to win
Marilee's heart, little by little, starting with cold tea on a hot day.
