In the delightfully nosy town of Whynot, North Carolina, secrets and sweet tea never stay cold for long. When sparks fly between two locals-one returning home and one with secrets to hide-the gossip mill isn't the only thing turning up the heat.

Penny Pritchard thought she'd traded in small-town chatter for political banter when she left to build a big career in Washington, D.C. But when her beloved Aunt Muriel needs help running Central Café-the local hotspot for gossip, grits, and good intentions-Penny comes home with a suitcase full of high heels and denial about just how much she's missed this place.

Enter Sam-Pete Rochelle, the easygoing bartender at Chesty's with a smile that could make a girl forget her rules and a secret bigger than the town itself. Everyone thinks he's just the guy pouring whiskey and fixing the jukebox. No one suspects he's actually a wildly popular, very rich, and very anonymous author of steamy fantasy romance novels.

When the truth is revealed and it's time for Sam to stop hiding behind his pen name, Whynot loses its collective mind. The church ladies are clutching their pearls, Floyd's hosting a Banned Books & Bourbon club, and the mayor's calling an emergency meeting about moral decay. And Penny? Penny is learning firsthand that Sam doesn't just talk the talk where his books are concerned. Sam excels at walking the walk, if you know what I mean.

Now, Penny is torn between her two worlds. Does she go back to the career that provides a sense of fulfillment and purpose or stay in the small town with the man who writes about epic love stories and might just be her own real-life happily ever after?

A laugh-out-loud, heart-swoony friends-to-lovers romance about second chances, southern charm, and finding the courage to write your own story-one rumor at a time.
