Hostile Takeover
She’s here to liquidate his legacy. He’s here to steal her heart (and maybe her sanity).
Harper Vane has one rule: Never mix business with feelings. When she’s sent to Ironwood Creek to oversee the liquidation of a failing ranch, she expects a quick in-and-out job. What she doesn’t expect is Silas Thorne.
Silas is a widower, a father, and the most stubborn man Harper has ever met. He’s also the owner of the ranch she’s trying to sell. He’s not going down without a fight—and he’s definitely not going to make it easy for the city girl in the designer heels.
But as Harper gets pulled into the chaos of small-town life (and the adorable orbit of Silas’s daughter), the line between enemy and lover starts to blur. And when a storm traps them together in the main house, Harper starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, this hostile takeover is actually a surrender.
