When a gorgeous smooth-talking stranger breezed into my diner, I never expected that trouble would be on the menu- and that's not all. .

. My hackles rose the minute Mr.

Big City Wheeler-Dealer Carson Daniels stepped into the restaurant raving about "untapped potential" and threatening my fierce independence. Soon though, this suave businessman has me rethinking not just slick new decor but my rigid views on dating outsiders.

Yet even as our plans intertwine toward re-launching my granddad's eatery into a trendy gastro pub,Carson remains cagey about his own agenda for lingering in my sleepy community for so long. In a town like Branson, every little action can have big rippling effects.

If I dare to trust this mystery investor as more than a casual fling, it could mean handing him the keys to everything from my heart to the very soul of the diner I've poured my heart into. But Carson Daniels, just might be worth the risk.
