Magnolia Summer

Going home is never easy, yet in order to realize her dreams, Jordan Weston must revisit the home she has spent years avoiding.

Magnolia, South Carolina is a quaint, historic town that has resisted the demand to keep up with the times. Yet this is not why Jordan resists going home. The memories that remain of her hometown are what keep her away. With the exception of her grandmother, there is very little that she can remember as being good about the town. Now that her grandmother is gone, she has absolutely no reason to visit. Only her grandmother left her the family home. With the sale of the house, Jordan will be able to realize her dream of opening a theater in New York.

Of course, with the way her luck is running, the one man that can help her repair the house before selling, is the one man in Magnolia that has always called to her heart. As Jordan and Sam are forced in close company, both are hard pressed to resist the building heat between them. When the town matchmakers get involved, there is nothing these two can do but give in. They soon discover that the heat between them is hotter than a Magnolia Summer, but will it fade just as easily as summer?
