About the book
Hannah Greene didn't know what had hit her. She'd gone from pampered darling of Connecticut society to manual laborer cum restaurant owner in New Chance, Arizona--overnight. She wasn't sure of anything anymore, except Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." But then she met Trace Murphy and had to rethink even that small certainty. In his case, everything had gone gloriously right. And the only law that seemed to apply was "opposites attract." Which was why Hannah couldn't relax and enjoy her good fortune .. . . There had to be a catch somewhere .. . .
