When the opportunity arises to bid on the renovation for the city’s Arts Center, she finds herself in the enviable position of working with the city’s notoriously autocratic mayor, A.C. Anderson.

The native son had initially returned to the town to join his mother’s architecture firm; however, after a plea from local citizens, the hometown hero soon finds himself at the reins of the city’s government. With his booming voice and relentless work ethic, A.C. is a force to be reckoned with...and a man who has never imagined that a pair of leopard-print T-strap pumps...or the woman wearing them with such adorable grace...would bowl him over.

When the two tangle in a series of newspaper editorials, it is clearly more than a battle of the sexes. The question is: Who will survive?
