When Push Comes to Shove

Virgil Push, the golden boy of Vermin County was handed a silver spoon worth 16 million dollars. He used it to sample all the decadence of life. Without care or thought for others, he took that spoon and rode it. Fast and far away from Vermin County as he could get. 

But the ride skidded to a stop. All of it slipping away in bankrupcy, poor choices and debauchery. Now Virgil is back in the town he swore never to return to. Divorced, destitute, serving as mayor in a job he's been told is easy as pie. 

He's done a lot of shitty things in his life. The worst he's yet to do. 

Serving a citation to cease and desist business operations on Miz Ruby Mae Shove. The town's most beloved widow and her home-based business. Easy as pie? Hell!

They have a past. One that ended ugly before it ever caught fire. But the flames of desire have never simmered. For fifteen freakin' years! Flames of passion and want that distance and sacred vows to others could never damper. Or diminish. 

He's got secrets. She does, too. 

He wants a second chance. A future with her. She wants to keep her business. A roof over her head. 

The battle of wills is about to being. 

May the best man -- and woman -- win.
