Self-proclaimed spinster Jessamine Lassiter is striving to keep Smoke River’s newspaper afloat when Cole Sanders rides into town to start up a rival paper. Emotions run high as Cole’s constant, infuriating presence causes sparks to fly both in and out of the office.
But does he truly desire Jess, or is he just waiting to put her out of business? Whatever it is he wants, she’s not about to make it easy for him . . .
“Banning’s warm, engaging Smoke River series continues to thrive and grow, especially when a competitive newspaper arrives and sets sparks flying between the editors—on and off their editorial pages. Familiar characters and the town’s favorite haunts all lend support as the at-odds editors find a way toward harmony.” —RT Book Reviews
