There comes a time in every woman's life when she
must get herself a man or give up on the idea entirely.
After three
long years of patiently waiting for her reluctant beau, handsome,
gentlemanly Amos Dewey, to pop the question, Augusta Mudd--owner
of her small town's biggest factory--decides it's time to take
matters in her own hands. With the help of her friend, ruggedly
attractive Rome Akers, she's determined to make Amos jealous--and
get him to the altar--before it's too late.
Rome Akers
wasn't ready to settle down. But by pretending to make Augusta
his partner for life he had a chance to become her business
partner instead. Yet despite his best intentions, the closer
he gets to this intelligent, sweet woman, the stronger his feelings
grow. Their tantalizing conversations and tender kisses ignite
a desire more passionate than Rome ever imagined. Soon he'll
do anything to make Augusta a bride--but only if he gets to
be the groom.
