Caila Harris is determined to secure the promotion she's been aiming for every since beginning her marketing job at a large cosmetics company, but some bad personal decisions land her out on a punishment assignment, namely heading to small town Bradleton to find reasons to close the one factory in town that employees most of its residents. Local Mayor McHottie Wyatt is just as determined to prevent this from happening, but his own desires and feelings for the beautiful Caila also throw a wrench in his plans. As their mutual desire grows, can these two overcome their very different work needs to find happiness?

I especially loved Caila's group of friends and cannot wait to meet more of them as this series progresses and I was happy to see a small town Contemporary written by a Black author. There are many fun secondary characters to meet and some great sexy times, including a scene where Caila and Elijah have some fun with a product they procured from one of the town resident's side-hustles ;).
