I wonder if this qualifies as burnout' Samantha Paige would never have believed she would get fired from her position as Critical Care Coordinator for the hospital. Of course, she never considered the possibility that she would sock a pompous, inept surgeon in the puss, either. But, that's exactly what had happened. Desperate for some peace and quiet, she flees to her loving Uncle Rufus and the beautiful farm nestled in the hills south of Nashville near the historic town of Franklin, Tennessee, where she had spent the happiest moments of her life. Upon her arrival, she comes face to face with TJ Carter, the handsome, driven Civil War historian. He is president of the Civil War battlefield preservation association and is fighting to protect the remains of the Franklin Battlefield from commercial development. Her uncle's farm is the key piece of land wanted by both sides. What neither she nor TJ recognize is the lengths to which the unscrupulous developer, and the nefarious men backing him, are prepared to go to get what they want. The attraction between Sam and TJ is immediate and powerful, and the last thing that Sam thinks she wants or needs. She struggles to resist TJ's assaults on her resistance. As the passion she feels for him spirals out of her control, she finds herself fighting at TJ's side not only for the land, but also for their very lives.
