They’re too busy for love, but Marella Lake has other ideas…
BYRON
I can’t wait to get back to Manhattan. The only reason I’m in this middle-of-nowhere dump is to put my dead father’s affairs in order, sell his lakeside mansion, and go home. After all, I’ve got a penthouse to buy.
But when my idiot dog-slash-best-friend hurts himself playing in the lake and I end up rushing him to the only animal hospital for fifty miles, of course I find the one person I’ve already made a bad impression on: the gorgeous local veterinarian, Alina Hunt.
Just my luck.
But to my surprise, I find her fascinating and intense, the hardest working person I’ve ever met. Her passion puts my New York friends to shame. Being with her is addictive… but I could never live here.
Could I?
ALINA
No.
Author’s Note: This is a steamy small-town contemporary romance featuring a billionaire, enemies-to-lovers, a slow burn, a lakeside mansion, parent issues, restorative nature, a trio of gal pals, and a rascal dog determined to get into trouble.
