She came to bury the town that made her. It had other plans.
Imogen Vance is the best acquisitions closer in the Southeast, and she's just been handed the one account she can't refuse: Saltwood. The mineral-springs town on the bluff. The town her family was too poor to belong to and too proud to leave. The town she escaped at eighteen and swore she'd never sign her name to again.
Now she's back to take it apart - quietly, legally, one founding-family house at a time. The plan is clean. She doesn't have to buy Saltwood. She just has to let it fall.
Standing in her way is one folding table, one overwatered fern, and Jonah Larkin - the heritage-trust attorney who has said no so many times it's become structural. He won't rattle. He won't sell. And from the first beat across his desk, he sees exactly the thing Imogen has spent eighteen years making sure no one could see.
She closes towns for a living. She did not plan on getting closed.
The colder her orders get from above, the harder it is to remember which side of the table she's on.
Worth Keeping is the open-door, enemies-to-lovers finale of the Saltwood series - small-town wit, slow-burn heat, a whole town of found family, and on-page spicy scenes for grown-ups. Book Four. Reads as a standalone; richest after Books One through Three.
