Falling for Dallas — Carolynn Carey

Beth Ann Stanfield truly believes she's not a dream girl. She's a young widow with a son to raise, a huge medical debt to pay, and a monstrosity of a house that gobbles up all her extra cash. When sophisticated, educated, and wealthy Dallas Vance moves in across Redbud Road, Beth Ann knows their mutual attraction is headed down a dead end street.

Wanting to help Beth Ann, Dallas makes the mistake of trying to solve some of her financial problems and quickly discovers that the woman possesses an independent streak wider than the state of Tennessee. Fortunately, there's an old-fashioned cottage situated on Beth Ann's property, and Dallas convinces her that if she'll sell him the cottage he can renovate it and both of them will benefit.

But even when Beth Ann's financial worries are lessened, she understands that her love for Dallas is doomed unless she can find a way to even out the other disparities between them.
