Holy Mound, Tennessee – Present Day

Ten years ago, Genesis Washington ended up in a one-night stand with Jaxson King. The night became an embarrassment after learning that Jax was responsible for her brother’s broken arm—and the end of his football dreams, plus bedding her was part of a bet. Gen has never forgiven Jax, though luckily, they don’t run in the same circles as he is now a famous ex-football player while she is…well…just someone. But while meeting with the relatives of her favorite uncle after his death, Gen runs into Jax and learns he was her uncle’s next-door neighbor and a good friend. She figures she will never see him again, but at the reading of her uncle's will, she learns that she has inherited his farm. With no job and no money, the farm comes at a good time. However, her uncle’s sons aren’t happy. And it turns out that Jax is willing to help her at the farm. What should she do?

Gen is conflicted a lot in STUCK IN THE COUNTRY WITH YOU and feels like her past is catching up with her. Jax turns out to not be the bad boy she thought he was all those years ago. Her brother lied about what happened with the broken arm and the bet. Despite that, Jax is a handsome man and women flock to him. Gen doesn’t want to be another notch on his bedpost. However, he turns out to be a good friend because he was helpful to her late uncle. Add in that her cousins are angry over not inheriting the farm, which they wanted to sell and pocket the money. At first, Gen agrees with them, but after the way they treat her, as though she stole their inheritance, she decides to dig in. Relocating to Holy Mound is a good plan. But can she make the repairs on the farm without going deeper into debt?

The attraction between Gen and Jax still sizzles after all these years. She should resist him, but she can’t. He proves to be invaluable and appears to be a nice guy. The more they get to know each other, the more she trusts him. Is Gen falling in love with Jax? STUCK IN THE COUNTRY WITH YOU is an intriguing read about a couple with a shared past. She is so angry with him at first that she ends up in a predicament where she ultimately has to rely on Jax to help her. His past is a bit messy, while hers is filled with missed opportunities and bad luck. Will their second time around be the lucky charm for a future together? Find out the answer by picking up a copy of STUCK IN THE COUNTRY WITH YOU.
