When Push Comes to Shove

It was one thing for Virgil Push to come home divorced and destitute.

Another to have to learn to live paycheck to paycheck. By actually working. Who did that? Apparently, everyone. And he was, too. Now serving as mayor of the small town he swore he'd never return to. He's adapting. Until he has to serve a citation to shut down the home-based business of Rodent's most beloved widow. Miz Ruby Mae Shove. The woman he'd nearly destroyed fifteen years ago.

The woman he's never been able to forget.

Ruby Mae Shove spent fifteen years trying to live down the biggest mistake she'd ever made. And now Virgil Push is back. More appealing than before. Except for the biggest hurt he's inflicting on her. This time by shutting down her livelihood. She needs her business. To survive. And she has her angry son to think about. Still hurting from his father's death.

Oh, yeah. Fireworks are about to explode. And it isn't even the Fourth of July.
