Description
Carol James dyes her brown hair bright red and dares anyone to pity her for making a bad choice in a man the first time around. She's determined to make a success of her family's general store without losing her free spirit status. Seeing old friends, spying from her tree house and sticking her nose into town projects keep her busy, but not too busy to spend time with Dan Barker.
Dan Barker, the deputy sheriff for Julian, California has had the hots for Carol since high school, but he couldn't compete with the captain of the football team then. Now Dan's determined to make Carol his by Valentine's Day, but his past trips him up.
