Confronting my family's nemesis wasn't on my to-do list. Neither was falling for him.
After my difficult divorce, I thought my life was over. But now, I'm happier and more successful than I could've ever imagined. My cosmetics business is thriving and I'm almost ready to get back out there and find Mr. Right. Almost.
When I hear that a therapy ranch on the Bayou is seeking an investor, I jump at the opportunity. I know only too well that spending time with animals is healing.
When I visit the owners to ask for details, I find out I'm not the only one interested. Zachary LeBlanc is also there to make an offer. Why is that a problem? His family ruined my family's reputation. He immediately tries to discredit me in front of the owners. Needless to say, I'm ready to give Zachary LeBlanc a piece of my mind.
Days later, I spot Zachary in the French Quarter, at the edge of the Mississippi River. As I hurry over to give it to him good, the unthinkable happens and I fall into the river! I'm certain I'll drown, but he somehow pulls me out. That's when I see an entirely new side to this man - though maybe I'm still in shock from the trauma. Zachary is kind and patient, but before long, we're back to arguing again.
And that's when he kisses me! After he pulls back, I wonder if his intention was to shut me up, or if he's truly attracted to me.
One thing I know for sure; I've met my match in Zachary Leblanc. Because I'm not going down without a fight, and neither is he.
There are so many reasons why we can't be together. So why am I ignoring all of them?
