Descripción editorial
Good fences make good neighbors—except when a scorching shared past makes things complicated—in this delightful city-meets-country romance from Zuri Day.
She’s packing her bags—and her baggage.
Ten years ago, Genesis Washington made a very poor decision. At the time, it seemed great. Fantastic. Explosive. But the truth is, your one-night rebound should never be your younger brother’s rival. And he definitely shouldn’t be someone who allegedly only slept with you to gain the upper hand—even if the sex was amazing.
Now Genesis is blindsided when the farm she’s inherited just happens to be right next door to Jaxson King, the regrettable one-night stand she’s still painfully attracted to. This man has aged like the finest of wines, and what’s worse, he’s now a thoughtful and responsible father. Good thing Genesis has a (*cough* long-distance *cough*) boyfriend. Well, sort of. It’s complicated.
Jaxson and his hotness should be easy enough to ignore. But when city-girl Genesis discovers there’s a serious learning curve to her humble new home, it’s Jaxson who’s there to lend a very skilled helping hand. With every problem that arises, Jaxson is seemingly making all the right moves—both on the farm and when things heat up behind closed doors. But, surely, that doesn’t mean he’s right for Genesis, does it?
Stuck in the Country with You is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Perfectly balancing sweetness and steam, the latest from Day (the Eddington Heirs series) finds Genesis Hunter at a crossroads. Her lease is up, her job has been eliminated, and her finances are hanging in the balance as she waits for a return on investment from her ex-boyfriend's flailing business venture. Then her great-uncle Cyrus dies, leaving her his farm in Holy Mound, Tenn. She's not expecting Jaxson King, her one-night stand turned enemy from 10 years ago, to be her new neighbor. Jaxson, a retired pro football player and single father, doesn't recognize Genesis at first, so he doesn't know their first encounter ended in disaster when Genesis learned he was the man who ruined her brother's chances at playing pro ball. Jaxson was close to Cyrus and is eager to show Genesis the ropes of both running a farm and small-town Southern life where neighbors often "do drop in," showing up at one's front door unexpectedly. As old feelings rekindle, Genesis must decide what she truly wants from life. Genesis's family drama and Jaxson's painful past add heartache, which is nicely leavened with heaps of small-town charm and a heartfelt message about the power of love. Readers will be eager for a quick return to Holy Mound.
