I'm rich and powerful now. Not too bad for a girl from small town Texas.

Plenty of time for me to figure out that love isn't made of fairy tales and high school crushes who didn't even know I existed. Maybe it's even long enough for me to realize what's staring at me through my best friend's eyes - even as I try to say we're just business partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Gran dies.

This time, he's noticed me, but he comes with a troubled daughter that reminds me a little too much of myself. Then there's the new guy I just hired. He's the best person for the job, even if he is my best friend's ex - and looking at my crush a little too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm supposed to be taking over Gran's business, but the rumors are flying. This town hates me. My neighbor wants to see me fail, my love life is out of control, and Luke's daughter? It looks like she's going to be the only one who ends up hurt unless something changes.
