"Witty and fun, warm and endearing, Macy Beckett will tug your heartstrings!"— Carly Phillips, New York Times Bestselling Author

In order to achieve her lifetime dream of owning her own martini bar, June Augustine must return to her small town of Sultry, Texas...and to the man who intoxicates her life no other.

Nine years after June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs with her heart in pieces, one thing stands between her and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a bogus warrant from her tiny Texas hometown. Now she's stuck in the sticks for a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend.

If Texas wasn't already hot enough, working side-by-side with June would make any man melt. Luke wants nothing more than to strip her down and throw her in the lake-the same lake where they were found buck naked and guilty as sin all those years ago. In their heads, they're older and wise. But their hearts tell a different story.

      Beckett’s delightful debut is a sweet mix of lighthearted romance and down-home charm. She draws spunky Mae-June July Augustine (who sensibly goes by June) and heart-of-gold Luke Gallagher with a guileless energy that turns sappy stereotypes into genuinely endearing people. Ambitious June is heck-bent on making her own way in the world; the last thing she wants is to reconnect with her childhood sweetheart, Luke, and her estranged tough-love grandmother, Prudence Foster. June is all set for the opening night of her tony Austin, Tex., cocktail lounge when she learns her liquor license is held up pending clearance of a bench warrant issued by a conniving judge from her hometown, Sultry Springs. Eight years’ scrimping and planning teeters on a brink she can only overcome by serving a monthlong community service sentence alongside Luke, while living with her grandmother. The result is a likely hit with aw-shucks romance fans. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, the Seymour Agency.

      June Augustine sells her condo and almost all of her worldly goods in order to become co-owner of Luquos, a martini bar in Austin, Texas. Everything is set for a splendid grand opening when June gets word that there's an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She and Luke Gallagher, teens in love, were caught skinny-dipping by one of Sultry Springs, Texas' finest. Now old charges of lewd conduct and indecent exposure hang over June's head, and Sultry Springs' wily judge has ordered her to stay and do community service before she can get back to the business of opening her bar. Since she's already failed at mowing the lawn for the Holy Baptism by Hellfire Church, she's left with her only other option: helping Luke fix houses. There's lots of unabashed matchmaking going on in Sultry Springs, and there's no way June and Luke can escape it. Beckett's clever book is full of both humor and pathos and will appeal to readers of either bent.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
