EVELYN ADAMS

Series: The Southerlands

​

An opposites attract stand-alone small town romance about the town doctor, the woman who never meant to come back home, a little girl who needs a family, and a fried chicken eating dog.

With her career imploding and a family history that reads like a trashy tabloid, Autumn Maddox can’t afford any more disasters when she returns to her old hometown. Still devastated by the death of her grandmother, she’s determined to put her life back together, fix whatever trouble her sister and niece have gotten into, and hold her head up high while ignoring every “bless your heart” that comes her way. But the hardest part will be ignoring the town’s most eligible bachelor—who happens to be her new boss.

Dr. Jude Southerland doesn’t care which side of the tracks Autumn came from. She’s smart, gorgeous, and everything he didn’t realize he wanted in a woman. And no, he doesn’t give a hot damn what his family, his best friend, or the Ladies’ Auxiliary thinks. The last woman anyone would pair him with is the only one he wants.

Jude’s determined to be her knight in shining armor, but Autumn gave up on happily ever after and small southern towns a long time ago. It’s going to take more than sweet tea and sweet talk to convince the woman of his dreams that their love is meant to be.
