   Summary

   Ryland Grace isn't teaching summer classes this year, so he comes up with the bright idea of going on a "vacation" - AKA, driving across nearly the entire continental United States to go to a research summit. His car breaks down just outside a town so small it's hardly included on maps: Salt Creek, Tennessee, right by the Kentucky border. Maybe it's the warm spring air, the charming tiny library, or the cheap diner food that makes him want to stick around awhile. Or maybe it's the quiet, handsome stranger fixing his car.
