Simple Riches — Mary Campisi

Sometimes The Only Thing Worth Treasuring...Is In Your Heart
Developing luxury resorts may be an odd career for a woman who never takes a vacation, but growing up with her grandfather's no-nonsense work ethic has made Alexandra Chamberlain good at her job. Convincing residents of the logging community of Rastelline, Pennsylvania, to embrace the idea of a resort will be a challenge, however. For them, Rastelline means picnics, baseball games, and families connected by both blood and history--the kind of small-town life Alex has never known.

As Rastelline's only doctor and the son of one of the community's oldest families, Nick is bound to his hometown in ways someone like Alex can never understand--and he doesn't want anything about the place where he grew up--and where he's raising his young son alone--to change.
