She's got the moxie, he's got the money... Her hometown gourmet catering company may be in a slump, but April Finnegan isn't about to begin again. Determined to save her business, she sets out to win some local sponsors, unaware she's not the only one in Saguaro Vista with that idea. Turns out wealthy department store mogul Ryan Forrester is one step—and thousands of dollars—ahead of her. Clearly, this sunny southwestern town isn't big enough for both of them. Somebody has to go—and it sure isn't going to be April!

Will love be the prize?

All his life, Ryan has relied on his family money and connections to get by. Now the outrageously off-beat, infuriatingly alluring April has challenged him to survive a week in Small Town, USA without either. He takes her up on it, knowing it means being with her constantly—but never imagining he might lose his heart in the process! Thanks to their wager, now that Ryan most wants to impress a woman, he's a penniless pauper. He'll have to rely on his charm alone to convince April that he's a prince of a guy—and well worth falling for...
