To the world sheβs Vanessa Valentino, the poison-penned gossip columnist and blogger, but back in Georgia, sheβs just Tressie Valentine. After digging up one scandalous secret too many, sheβs forced back home to the sleepy town she thought sheβd left behind forever. And now she must face Nathaniel Woodberry, who became her sworn enemy when one of her stories hit too close to home.
Yet for some reason, Tressie canβt turn off her longing for the irresistible investigative journalist... Nate canβt believe Tressieβs back to wreak havoc on the close-knit community they both grew up in, and he canβt help holding a grudge against her past deeds.
But soon, the commitment-wary bachelor discovers that the Southern belle is still a compassionate, loving woman. Nate finds himself drawn to her and he canβt stop thinking about seducing her with a healthy dose of down-home passion. But can he stop Tressie from making a mistake that could destroy their hometown β and their blossoming love?
