As the CEO of Brooks International, Ryan Brooks has money, power and a sought-after family name. But here on his sister’s ranch in Claremont, Alabama, the billionaire only wants to be loved for who he really is. So when small-town shop owner Maribeth Walton ignores him and his valuable business advice, he’s determined to figure out why.
Problem is, Maribeth knows he’s not sticking around and she won’t let him get close. Or could it be she’s keeping a secret—one that may hold the key to why she’s so reluctant to admit she’s falling for the billionaire?
