Dixie Rose Kincaid made it big in New York City as a singing sensation. But her personal life fizzled to nothingness. So she went back home to a small town in Texas--where she thought she'd left her heart. Her family needed her and she needed to see Kevin one last time, to rid herself of a childhood crush.

Dixie collides with Mike Dalton, her childhood adversary--who just happens to be Kevin's brother. The sexy rancher has other plans for Dixie's love life--that most certainly don't include Kevin.

Though they seem to clash constantly, before long Mike's sultry kisses make Dixie forget everything--including Kevin. Warm summer evenings of frog gigging, a hometown fair, and Mike's gentle attention quickly steal her heart.

Determined to get back to New York to resume her career, things get more complicated when Dixie finds she's completely taken with Mike's adorable daughter, Amanda--who wants Dixie to play Pretend Mom. Torn between what her heart tells her is right and her desire to pursue her thriving singing career, Dixie is faced with the most difficult decision of her life: Can she leave her heart at home--again?
