Firecracker - 9798990732308

Beau McAbee, the town jokester, effortlessly elicits laughter from everyone with his good-natured antics and southern-boy charm-everyone, that is, except Tessa Jennings. Beau believes he has this feisty firecracker all figured out. However, a series of impulsive decisions and a chance encounter at a swimming hole ignite a summer romance where both Beau and Tessa find that giving in isn't such a bad thing.

Despite her sharp-tongued comebacks, Tessa finds herself drawn to Beau. But she harbors a big secret: she has long despised small-town life and is determined to land a job in publishing anywhere but her hometown. When her career aspirations lead her to Houston, she ends up moving in with Beau's older brother, Shep, a rising major league star. But living with an old friend isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when he's determined to get out of the friend-zone.

As she navigates ambition and homesickness, Tessa must confront the possibility that true love may have been right in front of her all along, in the one place she never thought to look. Will she pursue her dreams or will she realize that home-and love-can be found where she least expects it?
