Pride and Small Town Prejudice
About this ebook
He’s ready to leave it behind.
Lainie Bennett loves her small town with her whole heart—and when it starts to struggle, she’s determined to do whatever it takes to help it thrive. Even if that means working with Dexter Williams, a polished big-city marketing consultant who thinks small towns are stuck in the past.
Dexter’s sleek, data-driven strategies clash with Lainie’s community-first values, and from their very first meeting, sparks fly. Pride, stubbornness, and two completely different worldviews stand between them.
But as late meetings turn into shared laughter, and resistance gives way to understanding, attraction becomes impossible to ignore.
Can a woman rooted in home and belonging convince a man with one foot out the door that some places—and some people—are worth staying for?
A heartwarming small-town romance about community, second chances, and finding love where you least expect it.
