Product Description They say there’s no place like home. For Ashley Ann Scobel, there’s no place as terrible as home. When she left Prattsville at seventeen, she swore she’d seen the last of the dusty Texas town. Home sweet home is the last place she wants to be, but with her acting career sputtering to a stop and bills piling up, she needs a breather—and a place to make a fresh start. The last thing she expected was to butt heads with the town’s new law man—who also happens to be her landlord…and a tall, dark Texan who takes her breath away.Small town police chief Smith Salvatierra has everything he needs—a good job, a beautiful home, and a canine partner who never pressures him to talk about the past. Prattsville might be boring, but he’ll take solitude and big skies over city lights any day of the week. He likes things orderly and predictable, which is why his new tenant is forever getting under his skin. Messy, nosy, and prone to breaking speed limits, the Hollywood starlet next door seems destined to disrupt his life…and maybe change it forever.Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan for either of them...but never say never.

After years in Tornado Alley, she now makes her home in the Great Lakes region with her husband, kids, and more baskets than any one person should own. (You can never have enough.)
