Parker Brandt is a woman with a plan. Finish her business degree, save her family farm, and then figure out what the hell to do with her life. Except one broody, obnoxiously handsome man keeps getting in her way.
Professor Noah Hawkins has gotten under Parkerβs skin since he failed her on a technicality and delayed her college graduation. And now heβs working for Emerald Lakeβs long-time mayor. The same mayor whose new construction project threatens to carve up the land that Parker calls home.
In a last-ditch effort to save Stal Brandt, Parker joins the small-town mayoral race, throwing herself back into Noahβs crosshairs.
Hating him should be easy, but he keeps showing up for her, covertly helping throughout the contentious campaign.
Heated looks linger during midnight debate practice, and Noahβs dedication to Parkerβs success is so unwavering that she finds herself grappling with feelings much more dangerous than hate.
Giving in to temptation is risky. Getting caught would ruin his reputation and her campaign in one fell swoop. But sneaking around has become an addictive habitβone they canβt seem to quit.
Even if it costs them everything.
