Billionaire vs. Small-Town Charm
Profit and preservation were never meant to mix… until Christmas worked its magic.
Graham Sinclair has built multiple luxury resorts from the ground up. Now, he has his sights set on restoring Hearthstone Lodge, a long-abandoned property nestled in the snowy peaks of Montana. With plans to revive the lodge and add upscale shopping and dining to the site, this is more than one more project. It will define Hope Peak’s future legacy.
But he didn’t count on the town’s resistance. Or the fiery local town manager, Willow Grant, who seems determined to block his every move.
Willow remembers what Hearthstone Lodge used to be — a treasured piece of the community… and of her heart. She won’t stand by while an outsider with designer boots and corporate investors tries to erase the soul of Hope Peak. The last thing Willow Grant needs is a smug, big-city developer bulldozing his way into town with promises of “revitalization.”
And Graham Sinclair has no patience for small-town politics or sentimental roadblocks, especially when they come in the form of a stubborn, infuriatingly beautiful town manager.
But when their battle over Hearthstone Lodge turns personal, tension sparks into something neither of them expected. This Christmas, will they tear each other apart … or light a fire that neither of them can put out?
