Scooped (River City Romance #2)
H.M. Swick, Heather Sage

She did everything in her power to leave behind her past, her faults and her wealthy East Coast family’s influence. Now a journalist at a small Riveredge, Illinois newspaper, Emily is fighting her way to a big-name Windy City newspaper.
When the death of a local ice cream tycoon catches the media’s attention from all over the country, Emily wonders if she’s found her ticket to Chicago. Emily’s dedication, diligence and a surprising suggestion from her father lead to amazing opportunities, and for once, her family seems to be on board with her career. Even as her wildest dreams are coming true, Emily feels pulled to her job at the little newspaper, her true friends in Riveredge and even Caleb Calwell, the coffee shop owner she’s been hopelessly attracted to since their drunken kiss nearly a year before.
Two life paths stretch before her, and Emily is forced to decide what matters most.
