Nothing gets the tongues wagging more in a small town than
wild ways and people making lots of money and the people of
Blackrock, Maine were no exception. Why, they could carry
on for hours about the enduring family feud between the
noveaux riche ways of that wild Gates family and how they
managed to steal the ancestral home of the Whartons away
from them. Fear of what the gossip would say even drove
the young teenage Lily Wharton away from her long time
friend, Declan Gates, when a long and heartthrobbing kiss
threatened to sizzle their friendship into a new dimension.
Like the passion between Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed
lovers of old, sparks sizzle and burn with hot emotion as
Declan returns to Blackrock and sees the lovely blonde Lily
taming the wild roses around his house, her old craggy,
windswept family home. Ten long years have passed since he
allowed her in his heart and he was out for revenge.
While savouring every inch of Declan's being and reliving
every moment of their long ago kiss, romance was not the
only thing on Lily's mind. Struggling to save the town's
economy with the expansion of her successful Home Designs
business, Lily needed Declan's support. She conceded to his
outrageous demands as that seemed the only path to her
goal. Will she be smart enough to protect her interests or
would he kill her dreams? Get ready for a suspenseful
ride when you read this steamy romance to find out!
As author Jennifer Lewis notes, she wasn't going to ruin a
good story by killing off the hero and she succeeded! With
her fresh take on the old feuding family theme, she has
created a brilliant beastly billionaire tale with strong
main characters willing to overcoming the adversity of
their situations and move positively into the future
despite the risks involved.
“Once, long ago, he’d have given her anything. But this time
lovely Lily Wharton wouldn’t get her way.” A bitter family
feud carries into the next generation when design
entrepreneur Lily Wharton tries to buy her ancestral home
back from bad-boy corporate raider Declan
Gates.
Lily and Declan shared a close secret
friendship as kids, but when a stirring kiss opened a new
world of dangerous possibilities, she shut him out of her
life. Now their hometown of Blackrock, Maine is on the brink
of extinction. Lily knows she can bring employment back to
Blackrock if only she can convince Declan to sell his
family’s property to her. But he doesn’t share her vision
for the town that treated him like an outcast, or wish to
humor the woman who crushed his heart.
When he
learns Lily took her company public to raise money to buy
the property, he decides he’ll have the woman, her company,
and the house. He has no idea he’s about to lose his heart.
