Whistling Dixie — Adrienne Edwards

From the moment they meet in a flooded computer room infested with snakes. they seem destined to re-enact a romantic war beteen the North and South. Statesque Roberta E. Lee, the Memphis Zoo's curator of reptiles, is no swooning Southern Belle. Stephen Grant, upwardly mobile banker, is fast-talking Yankee who takes one look at Roberta and recklessly declares he's in love! Roberta's convinced their names are a coincidence, not destiny, but Stephen's smitten! Obsessed! and determined to make her surrender. Will Roberta's dedication to Southern ways and her distrust of "corporate drifters" prove unbreachable? OR will Stephen's disarming grin, rapid fire banter, adn shattering masculinity successfully besiege her heart?
