Workaholic mother...alcoholic father...absentee brother. Evelyn Dane hasn't hit the jackpot where family is concerned--and all she wants is to be part of one. Particularly the Pace family, her rowdy, redneck next-door neighbors. Shane Pace has never liked his family. They burn their yard instead of mowing it, wear cowboy boots with their swim suits and clean their fingernails with sticks. All he wants is to get away. Evelyn is running towards what Shane is running from. Their paths were bound to cross. It was fate.
