Playing for Keeps

Things have gotten downright smoldering in Cotton Creek. The oil boom has the town bursting at the seams, and has Cody and Hannah run ragged with the bar being packed every night. Leave it to their mama to come up with a solution. Stella talks to her sister, who, in turn, manipulates her son, Cade (Cody and Hannah's cousin) to go to Cotton Creek and help them out. After all, he has nothing really on his plate. He just sold a casino in Atlanta City and has no idea what he wants to do next. Cade isn't keen on the idea, but his mother traps him with the old "family helps family" thing so to Cotton Creek he goes. What were the odds that a month after he arrives, Roxie Ellis' 1957 T-bird would break down just outside of Cotton Creek and she'd be needing a job to make enough to affect repairs? Gambler's luck? Maybe. Whatever the case, sparks fly at first glance and before you can call red on a roulette wheel, Cade and Roxie are neck deep in what is surely the most erotic bet of their lives. The problem is, the bet becomes a whole lot more serious than either of them plan and soon Cade is Playing for Keeps.If you love small-town and rural, feel-good love stories like those of Robyn Carr and her Virgin River series, Ann-Marie Meyer and The Red Stilletto Book Club, Tricia O'Malley, the Siren Island series, Pamela Kelley, Nantucket Beach Plum Cove series, or any of the wonderful books by Carolyn Brown, then this is a book and a series for you!
