About the book
Personal relationships were out
Ambitious to get Berry's Cider Farm back on its feet after her father's death, Blythe Berensen simply had no time for them. And especially not with Coburn Daggart.
Years ago he had hurt her badly, and she was determined to keep the family business from falling into his unscrupulous hands. He'd soon know that she was an adversary to be reckoned with.
Yet she had to admit she still found him attractive. If only she understood his motives--and could trust him.
