Beautiful Fall

I fell for a man whose heart may never be mine.

When I bought a row of beach cottages to renovate for my family's luxury resort, I worried my vision wouldn't live up to the high standards of the Rivers family name. I was worrying about the wrong thing entirely.

Because along with the cottages comes a little problem called Brett Carmichael. Brett freaking Carmichael, historical home contractor and son of my nemesis, a woman who mere weeks ago brutally smeared my name through the newspapers. The last thing I want to deal with is that woman's spawn.

But one reckless moment ignites a dangerous chemistry between us. Brett Carmichael is a force to be reckoned with. I'm helpless to stop him from claiming me, body and heart, but I'm not so sure I can to do the same to him.

It turns out, there's plenty more in his family history to worry about.

And his heart may not be mine for the taking.
