Winds of Change - Heart Lake Jo Grafford

The cowboy bad boy who broke her heart years ago and the career opportunity that offers them a second chance at happily-ever-after...

While they were growing up, Hope Remington was the darling of Heart Lake, and Josh Hawling was...well, bad news. And now she's returning after ten years of being gone, with a PhD and plans to use her new position to transform their struggling high school into a center for educational excellence.

She soon realizes that her biggest challenge isn't going to be the rival gangs embedded in the student body, although they're a close second on the list. It's Josh Hawling, who has somehow convinced their aging superintendent that he and his security firm partner can coach their backwoods collection of farm boys into a football team that'll make the playoffs.

How is a woman of her refined background and education supposed to improve test scores and graduation rates when her students' biggest idol is a man who spent more time in the principal's office than in the classroom? Even though she feels safer having him on their crime-ridden campus, she's so not looking forward to her daily encounters with his cocky self. Or being socked in the heart all over again by his devastating smile. Or having to finally face her unwanted attraction that might have kindled into a lot more if she'd never left Texas in the first place.

Welcome to Heart Lake! A small town teaming with old family rivalries, the rumble of horses' hooves, and folks - on both sides of the law and everywhere in between - that you'll never forget.
