Heart to Heart
Struggling to save his cash-strapped company, Jeremy Hamilton is overjoyed to discover he’s the heir to his great-aunt’s estate. Until he discovers there are strings attached.

He does have one option if he wants to inherit sooner: move to the small town of Legend, Tennessee, and live in Ms. Addie’s house for one month while the cats get to know him.
Excerpt:
The Reunion Game Chapter One
There was no way sex with Graham Winchester was as good as she remembered.
Jane Smith stood alone in the crowded Legend VFW hall where her fifteenth-year high school reunion was in full swing around her. She held a plastic wineglass of California merlot which gave her something to do with her hands, smiled at Betty Jo, the clerk from the Piggly Wiggly who waved from across the dance floor, and thanked her lucky stars for the relative darkness on the periphery of the dance floor.
He’d arrived. Heat surged through Jane’s body. Graham Winchester—senior class president, debate team captain, yearbook staff member, valedictorian and Mr. Most Likely to Succeed—had finally come home to Legend.
For fifteen years, she fantasized about Graham. For fifteen years, she remembered that one night alone with him in the back seat of his family Chevy. Sure, it had been cliché. Graduation night. One thing leading to another. Each going their separate ways the next day.
She’d put him behind her and gotten on with her life. College first and then back to Legend to teach high school English. When her mom was diagnosed with cancer, she cared for her. After years as a volunteer at the county dog pound, she founded Legend’s non-kill Pet Rescue. Last year, she’d quit teaching and opened a bookstore.
Yet she’d never forgotten Graham.
Cold, hard truth washed over Jane as she watched from the shadows. For all she accomplished, she was still stuck in high school. Her love life sucked. It’d been on hold for much too long.
She must exorcise the demon Graham had become and put him out of her mind and heart for the last time.
