The Rourke Inheritance

He came home to expose his family's darkest secret. He never expected to fall for the woman determined to stop him from destroying the town.

Five years ago, Rowan Rourke walked away from Hollow Creek, leaving behind a fractured family, an unresolved betrayal, and a truth no one wanted to hear.

Now he's back.

Hidden among his family's records is evidence of a century-old deception. Forged signatures. Stolen land rights. And a bargain that allowed the powerful to prosper while ordinary families paid the price.

Rowan intends to expose everything.

There's just one problem.

Wren Vale.

A sharp-tongued archivist with a talent for uncovering secrets and absolutely no patience for Rowan Rourke.

Wren knows the past deserves to be brought into the light. But she also knows what Rowan refuses to understand: revealing the truth without considering its consequences can destroy innocent lives.

When a winter storm damages the old Rourke records house, they're forced into an uneasy partnership to preserve evidence that could change Hollow Creek forever.

Neither trusts the other.

Neither intends to surrender.

And neither is prepared for the attraction growing between them.

But as missing documents, dangerous land disputes, and a powerful adversary threaten their investigation, the line between enemies and lovers begins to disappear.

Rowan must decide whether being right matters more than protecting the people he claims to fight for.

And Wren must decide whether the man who once shattered her trust deserves a second chance to earn it.

Because in Hollow Creek, some inherit fortunes.

Others inherit secrets.

And the most dangerous inheritance is the truth.
