Katherine Bruno is the shrew of Sweetheart, Texas. Her passionate, unfiltered temper clashes with the gentle pace of her tiny hometown. When she’s drafted to help the mayor’s wife who wants to run in the local election against her own husband, she meets big city political consultant Ryan Park, and cue the fireworks! The handsome campaign manager gets under her skin in a big way, but fraternizing with the enemy is off-limits.

Katherine must battle her lack of experience, campaign sabotage, and her growing feelings for Ryan as she strives to succeed. His unprejudiced acceptance of her strong-willed character beckons her heart, but his rejection of God is an insurmountable barrier. Will Ryan return to his faith and stay with her in Sweetheart or leave when the election ends?

Book Excerpt

“Katherine Bruno.” Since when had her voice been so breathless? “Welcome to Sweetheart, Mr. Park.”

“My friends call me Ryan.” His strong fingers wrapped around her own. “What do you prefer—Kathy, Katie, Kate?”

“I prefer Katherine. Thank you for asking.”

Was this what romance novels meant by love at first sight? She’d scoffed at the idea in the past, but her heart bounced like it was on a pogo stick. Any moment now, the angel choir would launch into song. 

“Did you really come all the way from New York for our mayoral race?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She didn’t relish being called ma’am. Katherine smoothed her messy ponytail at the nape of her neck. Perhaps she should have brushed her hair before the town meeting. But how was she to guess a gorgeous stranger would appear? Temporary retreat might be the best option. A quick dash to the restroom for damage control and a little lip gloss.

Katherine stepped away with reluctance. “I hope to see you around, Ryan.”

“Count on it.” 

His easy smile warmed her from top to toes. She tottered a little as she turned. Had he meant anything in particular? Or was he being polite? Love at first sight could go both ways. Katherine paused to grab her gray messenger bag from a nearby chair.
