At just thirty-two, Meg Taylor never imagined she’d be a widow. After burying her beloved husband and the added blow of a miscarriage, she abandons everything to hit the open road in search of closure. When her car breaks down in hot-and-humid Mississippi, she lashes out at the sexy country stud who comes to her rescue.

Determined to meet the familiar challenge, he vows to crack her brash exterior and fill her aching heart with passion.

Trying to outrun the lingering sense of grief, Meg fears giving in to her mounting desires will betray the memory of her past partner. And though Drew senses their steamy connection intensifying, he knows deep down that feeding their mutual hunger risks Meg leaving him forever.

Will these two wounded spirits put their ghosts to rest before losing a chance at happily ever after?
