I TRADED THE SKYSCRAPERS FOR A PORCH LIGHT, BUT THE CITY REFUSES TO LET ME GO
I thought the hardest part was coming home. I was wrong. My name is Tessa Quinn, and I didn't just return to Cedar Ridge to plant flowers; I came back to plant roots. I found my place in the arms of Emmett Lawson, the carpenter who rebuilt my heart one porch step at a time. We were supposed to be building a future, a legacy in the form of a town park.
But the city I left behind has a long reach.
A corporate developer has arrived with deep pockets and a team of lawyers, intent on turning our history into a parking lot. They aren't just coming for the land; they are coming for Emmett's workshop, his legacy, and the very ground we stand on. They offered us a way out-a settlement, a plan for escape. They thought we would take the money and run.
They forgot that Lawsons and Quinns don't run.
I spent years navigating boardrooms, and now I'm using every trick I learned to protect the man who taught me what home really means. They want to bulldoze our past? They'll have to go through me first.
★★★★★ This sequel takes the cozy small-town vibes and sets them on fire. The way Tessa steps up to defend Emmett? Chills. It's not just a romance anymore; it's a battle for survival. - Amazon Reviewer
Book 2 of 3 in The Mess Of Love series - the stakes rise as the small-town romance turns into a fight for legacy, proving that love isn't just about staying; it's about standing your ground.
