Seattle businessman Alexander Volkow arrives in Crossroads, Alabama and buys up half of Broad Street. Local residents think he’s there to buy low and sell high, but he’s really after information pointing to a hometown hero who’s MIA. Alex is determined to get his vengeance, leading him to the missing man’s fiancée. Although Polly Anna swears she doesn’t know where Billy is, she might offer Alex the payback he’s looking for with her sweet Southern charm and hot little body. The problem is her sexy snort might lure him back for more. He’ll do anything to get his revenge ... even pretend to fall in love.
Polly Anna Coots is searching for a way out.
Escaping Crossroads is the only way to survive Billy. Everyone thinks he’s MIA, and no one wishes it’s true more than Polly Anna’s battered body, but someone’s been stalking her. All she needs to make her getaway are the profits from her organic cotton crop, but Alexander Volkow is the only man who’ll buy it and he wants more than a business deal. She’s been with a possessive, domineering man before—there’s no way she’s getting in bed with a secretive Russian playboy ... especially one who’s after something more than another notch in his bed post.
In a small Southern town filled with secrets that fuel the smoldering fire burning between them, can either one of them get Just Close Enough?
