Description: "Love returns to Louisiana's Butterfly Bayou in a new small-town contemporary romance sure to charm hearts. Sylvie Martine was prepared to take Washington D.C. by storm, but she put that dream on hold when her beloved hometown of Papillon, Louisiana, needed her most. Now Sylvie's the mayor of the tiny town on the bayou that holds her heart. But for Sylvie, this can only be a pit stop on the way to bigger and better things. The last thing she needs is an old love to resurface and threaten her goals. Rene Darois's whole life has been about serving his family--no matter how much it hurts. He's used to sacrificing for his large extended family and the company his grandfather created. But he can't believe the latest demand: he needs to find a wife--and quick--or he could lose it all. It would be a horrible situation. But he has just the solution: his college sweetheart. Sylvie is everything he wants in a wife--smart, funny, and caring--and he planned to woo her anyway. Now he just has to convince Sylvie that their love is worth it all, or he and the bayou will lose her forever"--Page 4 of cover.
