He knows that Copper Ridge's newest bartender is running from her past…but will he recognize that she's his last chance at salvation before she leaves town in this sexy and emotional novella? Aiden Crawford knows all about responsibilities. He's already shouldering more than his share when beautiful drifter Casey James cruises into town with a broken car, a chip on her shoulder and enough secrets to have her ready to leave Copper Ridge the second she can afford the auto mechanic's bill. Aiden has no time for long-legged, sultry-eyed complications, especially when he catches her joyriding in his father's car, but when he realizes that she's hungry and homeless, he grits his teeth and does what he does best: takes on another person's problems as his own. Casey is no man's charity project—she takes care of herself and that's all she needs to survive. But in the gruff and ruggedly gorgeous Aiden, she finds a man whose demons match her own—and who tempts her to stop running once and for all. Yet even if she finds the courage to stay, can she convince him that a future together is possible before time runs out?

From William Dickson's Rip Van Winkle films (1896) to Baz Luhrmann's big-budget production of The Great Gatsby (2013) and beyond, cinematic adaptations of American literature participate in a rich and fascinating history. Unlike previous studies of American literature and film, which emphasize particular authors like Edith Wharton and Nathaniel Hawthorne, particular texts like Moby-Dick, particular literary periods like the American Renaissance, or particular genres like the novel, this volume considers the multiple functions of filmed American literature as a cinematic genre in its own right-one that reflects the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas even as it plays a decisive role in defining American literature for a global audience.
