When a call comes in about a possible heart attack at the scene of a fire at the Garden Center, Greg assumes they're going to be helping an elderly customer -- not the beautiful, feisty proprietor in her late twenties. Kristen Werner has been determined to pretend everything is fine. She refuses to leave the company she's carefully nurtured and move home to her loving but meddling family in Houston.

The good people of Springerville, South Carolina, welcome them with open arms. Until ... Almost overnight, they take over the Springerville. They snatch up the real estate.

Now one of these invaders--a predatory media mogul from New York--is running for mayor and plans to turn Springerville into a sprawling urban enclave ... just like the ones the northerners left behind ... NOT ON YOUR LIFE Not if Gus Fuller can stop it. A former army sergeant and lifelong townie, Gus runs the old luncheonette his grandfather built--and plans to give the media mogul a run for his money. Everyone in Springerville loves Gus, and he has no problem winning the mayoral race. But when the mogul falsely accuses him of rigging the election, all hell breaks loose. Busloads of angry mobs roll into town. Rioting, looting, burning ... Main Street is a war zone. So Gus and his army buddies are dusting off their uniforms--and taking a stand ...
