Dani Phillips loves her job as the city manager of Magnolia Bay, Mississippi, and she adores her close-knit community. But when the town council decides to pursue an ad campaign to bring in tourists and save the dwindling economy, Dani keeps quiet. Her heart begins to speak up, however, when she meets the man responsible for "selling" her hometown. Thad Cameron has returned to the town that stole the love of his life and his best friend. He soon feels the pull of Southern life himself- and a certain Southern lady. But he can't put his finger on the hook for selling Magnolia Bay-a task that might be easier if his thoughts weren't occupied with his lovely guide, Dani. As affections build, so does a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico. Will a hurricane blow away any chance for a prosperous future for Magnolia Bay- and Dani and Thad?
