   Summary

   Life as a librarian in rural Alabama was driving Therese Belivet slowly insane. And then, a new family from Vermont moved into town and everything changed. When she meets the sexy wife of the new paper mill manager, sparks fly. But when North meets South, the clash of desires could force them to make some painful decisions.

   AU, set in rural Alabama in the late 1980's.
