When the opportunity arises to spend a month on a plantation near Atlanta helping bring a living history event to life, she jumps at the chance. Filled with grand visions of channeling a southern belle, disappointment settles over her when reality comes to call. Plagued with allergies, humidity and a creaky old house, she's ready to hand over her mint julep and return home. Then she meets a man who rescues her from thugs, bugs and herself. Life has taught Brett Cutler to enjoy one day at a time. That's exactly what he's doing when a beautiful girl runs into his arms as she tried to escape men intent on harming her. From that moment on, he's ready to plan the next fifty years of his future. The only problem is the woman who's captured his heart has no intention of staying in town.
