Publisher Description:

The big city and a high-flying job… or a small town and a handsome man. Which would you choose?

Theodora “Teddi” Pickler is living the high life in New York City, working for a glitzy interior design magazine. However, her world gets turned upside down when her beloved grandfather suddenly passes away.

Teddi is shocked to find out that her grandfather has left her everything in his Will, including his homestead and antique shop in the small, rural town of Bennington, Vermont. Complications also arise when Teddi’s angry family members contest the Will.

At first, Teddi is sure that she will just simply sell the homestead and shop, so she can go back to her life in NYC. After all, she’s a city girl. But everything changes when she falls for the handsome Jake: a muscled, tattooed craftsman who lives in Bennington. His passion—restoring bruised antiques.

Throw in a court case, a tragic fire and a Mexican drug cartel seeking revenge, and Teddi’s life becomes anything but boring. Teddi soon faces a difficult choice: work or love. Which will it be?
