Intelligent and outspoken, Jessica Barnes will never make a docile wife, and she's never met a man who's wanted anything more. She left her home back East to help her seriously ill brother run the Springwater Gazette, but she arrives in town to find the family in upheaval and the newspaper about to go bankrupt. Ever efficient, and not shy with her opinions, Jessica rolls up her sleeves and takes charge. Springwater has never met a woman like Jessica, a fact which becomes abundantly clear to one of the town's most distinguished men.
As mayor of Springwater, Gage Calloway can't stand the way Jessica criticizes his decisions. As a man, he finds her a delectable armful he would dearly love to know better. When a blizzard strikes, stranding them alone, these two strong-willed people find a passion in common they'd never thought possible.
