Nothing could stop small-town gal Reily Eckardt from heading to Nashville and living the dreamโฆuntil her car and cash savings were stolen en route. Now she was high and dry in Paradise, Colorado, population 1,632, relying on the kindness of strangersโin particular, bar and grill owner Joe Miller. But why did the single dad have to be so gruffโand cuteโwhile he was being kind? Her mission: save up and split before getting sidetracked by this sexy enigma.
Sure, Joe could offer Reily a job at his bar. Renting her his garage apartmentโno problem. But giving her a place in his heartโno way! Poor Joeโit wasn't long before the country crooner had him singing a different tune.
