She’s worked for years as a budding fashion designer, and her brand new boutique could be just what she needs to finally make her mark in her hometown. What she doesn’t need is an arrogant big-city-guy like Jason Briggs coming in and taking over her carefully laid plans—even if a feature in his high-profile fashion magazine could give her the exposure she needs to make her new venture a success. After all, he’s a cutthroat businessman who couldn’t possibly appreciate the quirkiness that makes her designs unique. And Maggie’s learned the hard way that men in the industry simply can’t be trusted. Jason Briggs may be the sought-after CEO of a media conglomerate, but not many people know the story of his rapid rise to the top and he likes it that way. His past is shrouded in mystery. But that past quickly resurfaces when he comes to Willow Valley and finds himself face to face with Maggie—who played more of a role in the man he became then she could possibly know. Especially since she doesn’t seem to recognize him as the shy young boy she knew once upon a time. What Jason doesn’t expect is the undeniable attraction an all-grown-up Maggie sparks within him. Or her fiery determination to keep him at bay. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to fight what’s between them. Jason’s priorities begin to shift, making him question everything he thought he knew. Despite her best intentions, Maggie feels inexplicably drawn to Jason—but she’s been burned before, and the last thing she needs is to let her guard down. She quickly realizes Jason isn’t what she expected. He’s kind and caring and brings out the best in her. But there’s something he isn’t telling her, and she’s determined to figure it out. When she does, will she finally open her heart again? Or will the secrets she uncovers destroy everything she’s ever wanted? less
