Carolina Compromise — Nancy Knight

NOTHING WOULD BE FINER...

Richard Kemp came to Charleston, South Carolina with one thing in mind. He needed to discover the real magic of the city so that he could sell a new ad campaign to the local chamber of commerce. For Richard, the stakes were high. If he landed this account, he could become a partner in a Madison Avenue firm. If not, his position as a dynamic wonder boy would be in jeopardy.

He discovered that magic the moment he stepped into a horse-drawn carriage with a pretty blond driver. Dee Angelina Day gave customers more than a simple tour of historic Charleston. She made Richard aware of the scent of blossoming jasmine, the soothing warmth of Carolina sunshine, the majesty of the grand old mansions, and the laid-back lifestyle, slow and sweet as pure honey.

At first, Dee wasn't sure what to make of the attractive ad executive from New York. She sensed power in the deep gray eyes that glimmered like cool, liquid fire. Although Dee had always avoided involvement with clients, she couldn't help but tease this uptight executive. But her attempts to make him relax went too far when she found herself in his arms, tasting his passionate kisses. Richard was the kind of man women dreamed about...but he was all wrong for Dee. She could never abandon her Carolina home for life in the big city. But she would never, ever stop loving this dark-haired Yankee.
