Elliott Springs has small-town values, cobblestone streets, perfect scenery. These are things I don't care about. What I do care about is . . . Revenge. And no matter how compelling I find Liam Doherty -the guy focused on saving Elliott Springs- I'm going to get it.

What do you call a woman who wants to destroy everything you love, yet the sight of her sets you on fire? Nemesis or future wife . . . and since she can't wait to leave California, I guess I know which one she is. Emerson Hughes wants to be the villain in our town's history, and the more I learn about her past here, the more I understand it. I wanted to save Elliott Springs. I think I want to save her even more.
