Family Business Series by Laura Hart

Katie Danvers can’t take over the family business in Atlanta unless she’s married. It’s an outdated requirement, but it’s in the company’s founding documents. When her grandfather, the company’s CEO, sees no signs of her marrying, he brings in Gavin Kerr, his top executive from Scotland, to be his new right-hand man. Katie is horrified, not so much at the change in company hierarchy as by the fact that Gavin is the one man she’s been avoiding for almost a decade... moreKatie Danvers can’t take over the family business in Atlanta unless she’s married. It’s an outdated requirement, but it’s in the company’s founding documents. When her grandfather, the company’s CEO, sees no signs of her marrying, he brings in Gavin Kerr, his top executive from Scotland, to be his new right-hand man. Katie is horrified, not so much at the change in company hierarchy as by the fact that Gavin is the one man she’s been avoiding for almost a decade. They had a passionate affair in Scotland nine years ago, one that ended badly, and she’s carried a grudge against him ever since. Gavin never knew why Katie left Scotland so abruptly and is puzzled by her hostility. He needs to find out what’s going on, though, because they must now work together as Grandfather’s two top executives. Given their history, is that even possible?
