When her pilot fiancé flies the friendly skies with another woman, flight attendant Amanda Holladay decides it's time to make some changes. She dumps the jerk, packs up her New York apartment and heads home to small town U.S.A., where she plans to live a quiet existence sans a man—until Dylan Ryder walks into her life.

Dylan, her younger brother's best friend, was just a gangly youth when Amanda left Elm Creek, but now the 24-year-old is a sexy-as-sin contractor whose smile alone sends lustful thoughts racing through her body. Quickly Amanda decides to revise her plan about no more men in her life, or at least, her bed.
