The only string is a business engagement with another millionaire. Ireland returns to Iowa years later to plan her brotherโs tropical wedding. The festivities would be easier if her sexy ex-boyfriend stayed out of reach and her future wasnโt already planned.
Time suppressed his feelings for the girl next door, but Gideon Taggart isnโt about to let Ireland escape again.

Willow Havenโs content. Okay, thatโs a lie, but sheย hasย been trying her damndest. Trouble is, it never sticks. Second oldest in a family her town was named after, sheโs always felt the pressure. From the townspeople, from her sisters, but most of all from her daddyโthe original Good Old Boy and Havenbrookโs reigning mayor. The only time she didnโt feel that stress had been those blissful months spent in the arms of the resident bad boy. The same one who broke her heart beyond repair when he left without a word.
Life hasnโt come easy for Finn Thomas. Heโs had to claw and fight for everything heโs ever hadโand truth be told, it hasnโt been much. He spent the first eighteen years of his life living so far from the wrong side of the tracks, he couldnโt even see them through his trailer window. The only thing that ever came easy for him and made his sorry ass happy was the one girl he loved with all his heart. And the one thing he had no choice but to leave behind.
When an opportunity arises to return to his tiny, southern hometown and open the first bar in a formerly dry county, he jumps at the chance. That wonโt win him points with the mayor, whoโs hell bent on making Finnโs life a nightmare for sullying his namesake. But too bad for Mayor Haven, Finnโs got his sights set on more than just the town, and this time he wonโt be scared off quite so easily.

Sometimes, one night is all it takes to change your life forever.
They call meโฆJessieโs Girl.
