Coming Home to Alabama

Dean Stevens had just finished college at New York, and it was time to come home to Alabama. His parents had moved from Alabama to New York when he was fourteen, and though they wanted to stay in The Big Apple, Dean wanted to come back to his home as soon as he finished school. He'd be staying with his life-long friend Jacob, and his family, on their farm. It was all planned out - except for Anna Elizabeth McClain.
She was Jacob's annoying little sister that he'd said good-bye to when he left for NY. Although now, she wasn't the same girl in pig-tails he'd last seen.
She was older and much more beautiful. Dean had a plan to come back to Alabama, find a job, and become successful. A girl wasn't in the plans. But seeing Anna threw him for a loop that made him reconsider if his plans were for the best - a loop that made him wonder if maybe his career wasn't as important as he'd previously thought.
