Abby Gaines (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Super Romance | Publication Date: January 12, 2010

With scandal hot on her heels, acting attorney-general Cynthia Merritt has to get as far out of Atlanta--as fast as she can. Except now she's sentenced to obscurity in Stonewall Hollow for as long as it takes to get her game back. And everyone in the small town acts like Ethan Granger's the law, not her!

Sure, Ethan's outreach program for troubled teens is admirable. But she's not about to sentence the rancher's own son to Ethan's care. She won't bend the rules, not even for this sexy single dad. Damn him for making her wish she could stay in his small town forever....

This review is from: Her Surprise Hero (Harlequin Super Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Atlanta because of a courtroom incident in a closet while assigned as the Acting Georgia Attorney General leads her father to exile attorney Cynthia Merritt to Stonewall Hollow, Georgia so she can gain needed experience sitting on a bench as a state court judge. She assumes overseeing cases in the rustic town will be a snap.

However, the work proves much more complicated than she expected. Worse is Ethan Granger, who works with community service juvenile offenders. He wants her out of his town and what he wants he gets. The townsfolk defend their crackerjack rancher over her, but Cynthia has won over Ethan although he still mistrusts the city slicker as being in town just enough to finish a half of cup of coffee.

The Third Merritt Girl contemporary romance (see Her So-Called Fiancé and Her Secret Rival) is an enjoyable small town regional tale starring an ambitious daughter trying to prove her merit to her dad and a former felon trying to do better with his second chance. The story line is driven by this pair and their respective extended families. Abby Gaines provides her audience with a charming Georgia tale of second chances at life and love.
