"Little Rock, Arkansas, 1994: Bouncing in and out of foster care as a child, Jade Smith learned that the only person she can really trust is herself. So, when she starts to fall for newspaper columnist Sebastian Hudson, her defenses go up. When she gets a job offer from a company in Atlanta, Georgia, she immediately takes it, leaving Sebastian behind. Ten years after his heartbreak, Sebastian is back in his tiny hometown, running the local paper. The numbers in the accounting book are telling a story he's not ready to read, but he's refused to entertain any buy-out offers from big conglomerates, even as other small presses are being grabbed up. In Atlanta, Jade is eager for the promotion that will finally provide the security she's always craved. There's only one hitch-her boss wants her to convince a small-town newspaper owner to sell his paper to their company. Then she learns the owner is none other than Sebastian Hudson. Reunited for the first time since their awful break-up, Sebastian and Jade dig in their heels, refusing to see each other's side. But with all the small-town happenings keeping them busy, Sebastian and Jade end up discussing everything but business-and rekindling past feelings."--
