Author of – Pure Luck
Love is the last thing either of them wants. But it might be the only thing that can save them both.
June Cartwright, an event planner, dreams of escaping the family business to start her own. When her friend Callie asks her to help plan a fundraiser to save her fiancé’s family ranch, June is thrilled. Especially when she discovers that Callie’s brother-in-law happens to be Sterling Wilder, the scowling-but-gorgeous hero who stepped in during her disastrous airport incident.
Sterling Wilder has spent the past five years harboring a huge secret and avoiding his family. Fate has forced him back, temporarily, to help save his childhood home. Meeting June at the airport is pure luck; a night he’ll remember forever. However, he certainly doesn’t want her tangled up in the mess that is his family. First chance he gets, he’s going back to his life away from the ranch—alone.
Their chemistry is undeniable. Sterling realizes he could fall in love, and June reaffirms that she wants so much more than what her parents envision for her future. But ghosts from Sterling’s past and June’s obligations to her own family threaten to undermine the success of the fundraiser and tear apart what they’re both working so hard for, including their fledgling relationship.
