When Push Comes to Shove (The Tennessee Trilogy)

Virgil Push returned to his hometown of Rodent, Tennessee, divorced and destitute. Having blown a sixteen-million dollar trust fund, he now lives paycheck to paycheck, serving as mayor of his hometown. Everything is going great... until he has to serve a citation to shut down the home-based business of Rodent's most beloved widow. The very sexy, Ruby Mae Shove. The woman he'd nearly destroyed fifteen years ago.

The woman he's never been able to forget.

Ruby Mae Shove has spent fifteen years trying to forget Virgil Push -- the biggest mistake of her life. And she's done pretty well. Until cancer took her husband and her future happiness, wiping out any savings they might have had. She needs her business. To survive. And she has her son to think of. Her angry, troubled son. Still hurting from his father's death. Walking a dangerous path.

And Virgil is here. With a citation that would destroy her business, her life. Yet knowing he could hurt her again, that he could destroy her, passion ignites. And love. But is it enough? Or only a ruse to get what he wants?

Virgil and Ruby Mae each have secrets. Ones which can destroy their future. And outside forces plotting to tear apart their newfound happiness. So, When Push Comes to Shove, will love be enough?
