Wings of Love — Pamela Ferguson

GOLDEN HEART WINNER, debut author Will Reo Greene ever learn to say no? She's just finished organizing Lilac's first 5K race and is swamped with online college exams. Now the mayor wants her to collaborate with Jack Warfield to evaluate Main Street decoration proposals for the town's upcoming two-hundred-fiftieth anniversary. The last thing she wants is to work with the man who rejected her five years before, but the mayor is determined to make an example of the two former high school enemies. If Reo and Jack can collaborate for the good of the town, maybe everyone else will try to get along. Back in Lilac to oversee the sale of his mother's rental property, Jack doesn't admit he's also on a leave of absence from his new job as a Peacetalkers mediator. He got injured as a result of an unauthorized meeting, and the Peacetalkers must investigate. Even if the mayor is twisting his arm, Jack has no interest in collaborating with Reo. She'd already destroyed his college football scholarship chances. He'd be crazy to let her mess up his life again. Will past mistakes prevent Reo and Jack from discovering their true feelings?
