"Nikki Payne skillfully spins the tale of a well-known Jane Austen classic and makes it entirely her own. Thoughtful, hilarious, and smolderingly steamy."--Kristina Forest, author of The Partner Plot
There's never a good time to learn you are your father's secret child--especially not at the reading of his will. With their father's affairs laid bare and Nora's sensible reputation in tatters due to a viral video scandal, she and her free-spirited sister have nothing left but a rustic inn in the middle of nowhere and each other. What's more, they need to revamp the inn before Labor Day or they lose it all. Nora hasn't even knocked the traveling dust off last season's designer boots when she's confronted with three problems:
2. She hasn't seen another Black person for miles.
3. A tall, dark stranger has already staked a claim on their property.

Their connection is electric, their desire palpable. But Bear's silence about his mysterious past might turn out to be the one thing that sends Nora packing.
