Homespun Hearts — Carla Cassidy

Damsel in distress

When Dooley James glimpsed a lovely young woman being held at gunpoint in the apartment across the way, he reacted as any strapping Southern gentleman would -- he dashed to the rescue. Funny...his feisty neighbor didn't seem to appreciate his daring leap through her window.

Marina Burns had come a long way to escape her down-home roots, and the last thing she needed in her life was a hayseed who didn't seem to care that New Yorkers minded their own business.

But happy-go-lucky Dooley popped up everywhere Marina turned...and the crazy thing was, she'd probably miss him when he returned to South Carolina. She kept reminding herself she was a city girl now...so why had she let a country boy capture her heart?
