A Tyler-Royale Story

Preserving the past

Gina Haskell is determined to expand the local-history museum her mentor built – and once Gina makes up her mind, getting in her way isn't wise.

Building the future

But though Dez Kerrigan is a smart, savvy, and brilliant land developer, "wise" may not apply. Dez owns the building Gina wants, and he's not about to give it up.

Squabbling over the present

If Dez doesn't know what he'll do with the building – and he doesn't – why won't he even negotiate? Gina's not taking NO for an answer.

If Gina understands what a big challenge she's asking for – and she does – why won't she be reasonable? Dez isn't about to get trapped.

The curator versus the businessman

The attraction between them sizzles as Dez and Gina one-up each other – in person, in public, and in the media. Where will it end? Will one of them win for their cause? Or will both of them lose their hearts?
