Ballad of Dixon Bell

He's always loved her.Dixon Bell has loved Kate Bowdrey for as long as he can remember. Everybody in town knew him as the shy kid who carried around a guitar-and as the guy who disappeared after high school graduation. After thirteen years away-spent nursing a broken heart and becoming a successful songwriter-he's discovered that Kate is available again, so he's coming home to New Skye to make all his dreams come true.But L. T. LaRue-Kate's soon-to-be ex-husband and one of the most powerful men in town-has other plans for Dixon. Dixon just happens to own a beautiful old plantation house, and L.T. wants to use that property for high-priced condos. And he wants Dixon to stay the hell away from Kate. But Dixon's not selling-he has big plans for that house, plans that include Kate and her kids. And he's certainly not giving up the woman he loves. Not again. Not without a fight.
