Hallie just might be able to revitalize the town and a heart. Public Relations specialist Hallie Nichols returns home to Village Green, determined to stay just long enough to make living arrangements for her aging mother while avoiding the rejection and painful memories of her past--specifically her ex-boyfriend, banker Trey Gunther. Irked to find Hallie unrepentant for the hurt she caused him ten years ago, Trey dishes a little payback by mandating she meet with him weekly about her mother's finances. His plan backfires when his old attraction to Hallie flares. He's the one suffering, and worse, he discovers Hallie may hold the solution to his beloved town's woes. If he swallows his pride and asks for her help, can he convince her to put aside her animosity toward him and the town? Will their efforts be enough to save Village Green?
