Southerland's Dilemma — Bonnie Gardner

Attorney West Southerland is pretty comfortable in his job at a Montgomery law firm. Then the senior partner asks him to “wine and dine” a young farmer so he can talk her into selling out to a bigger landowner who's been coveting her property. At first, West is annoyed and then insulted, but when he meets the young farmer and falls for her, all bets are off. Natha Sessoms has worked hard to bring her grandmother's subsistence farm up to modern organic standards, and even the attentions of the handsome, young lawyer don't sway her from her mission. Then she learns that West is the son of the competitor who wants her land. When a crop-dusting accident threatens to ruin her crop, she suspects that the buy-out proposition is connected to the “accident.” Can West convince her that the accident is just that, or will his complicity end what might have been a beautiful future?
