Feisty bookstore owner Georgia Swift has been burned on love more times than she can count. She prefers reading romances, rather than hoping for her own. But when a bestselling author-and irresistible hunk-comes through Blue Lake on his book tour, she can't help but want him for herself, for always. Brazen bachelor Grayson Thompson is an expert at knowing what women want-he writes romance novels for a living, after all. When it comes to his personal life though, the last thing he needs is a wife at his side who'll stifle him. But Georgia is different from the other women he's dated. She's sweet, independent, and unafraid to ask for what she wants. A breath of fresh air. It doesn't take long before they're swept away in a whirlwind romance that has both their heads spinning. But Grayson is leaving town, and they don't have long to explore what "could be". Grayson must decide if their connection is more than a fling before Georgia moves on and finds her happy-ever-after with someone else.
