A famous model can't deny her Kansas roots-or her gorgeous childhood crush-in this Americana romance from the legendary New York Times-bestselling author. Discover romance across America with Janet Dailey's classic series featuring a love story set in each of the fifty states. Jonni Starr has everything she dreamed of as a girl in Kansas: a glamorous modeling career in New York and a sophisticated fiancé who pampers her to no end. After six years away from the Sunflower State, she can't wait to be back with her beau and show off her success. But the happy homecoming is a little more complicated thanks to Gabe Stockman, Jonni's father's right-hand man. Jonni used to idolize him, even though he would never even glance at the boss's daughter. But now, Gabe seems to do nothing but look at her. And he sees a side of the former country girl no one else does. Gabe is determined to remind Jonni of her roots, and the kind of down-home man she should be spending her life with.
