This hot military pilot is about to meet his match in an unpredictable former beauty queen!
Kaci Boudreaux is every Southern mama's nightmare, including her own. This former Miss Grits would rather tromp around in boots shooting off potato guns-and her mouth-than dress pretty and play nice with the boys.

He's into her for the fun. She's into him for the challenge. But when their secrets and fears start slipping out, their hearts-and even her job-will be on the line. She needs roots. He wants to see the world. What will they do about needing each other?
