Book Description:Single mom Carly Wagner is surprised to learn she'll have to share ownership of the home she's inherited with her first love--and first heartbreak--Andrew Stephens. The man who fled their tiny Western town is back and standing in the way of her dreams to expand her B and B. Now a successful businessman, Andrew has eight weeks to buy Carly out. But Carly's too stubborn to persuade--and too beautiful to ignore. When fire ravages her inn and she and her daughter move in to their shared property, Andrew's in over his head. Time is running out and Andrew must decide: leave and chase another deal...or stay and chase Carly's heart.

I really loved that book and I was hooked on the book right away and and I can’t answer numbers 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and I would want Carly Wagner to be played by Sophia Bush and I would want Andrew Stephens to be played by Wes Brown
