Million Dollar Maverick by Christine Rimmer: Callie Kennedy was running to a future that didn’t include men. In fact her future was in a small town doing what she loved, practicing medicine. Yes she was single and yes she was sweet and

Nate Crawford was becoming a bitter old man, not that he was actually old, but bitterness can age a soul faster than most things. Yes his past had once held sweet love but then one fateful day in January everything changed. His world would never be the same, he just thought it would always be worse. After all one simply does not “get over” something like that.

Never one to believe in fate when ten years to the day Nate stumbles across Callie on the side of the road he doesn’t put much stock in the meeting. However things keep happening, signs that he wouldn’t normally think twice about keep appearing. What happens when Callie starts to break through his bitter façade? What happens when Nate realizes he can’t keep running?

Ms. Rimmer has written and very sweet romance. The story revolves really around Nate and his road to redemption and how to become a “better” man. It was an interesting read mainly because it focuses more on Nate than on Callie, which is unusual for a romance novel. Callie is a very forgiving woman who I wish we were given a little more information about so she didn’t seem so naïve, but overall the characters were all very nice and redemptive in the end. Overall the story was great for a quick, sweet, HEA.

We have the scoop on Rust Creek Falls’ best-kept secret: our former mayoral candidate is now a very wealthy man! Yet he is going out of his way to make sure no one finds out. The question is why?

Insiders whisper that Nate is also keeping another secret from his new girlfriend, nurse Callie Kennedy–a big one–and it could be a game changer. Place your bets, dear readers! What will she do when she learns her “regular guy” boyfriend is really a maverick millionaire?
