The Billionaire's Secret Desire: A Small Town, Forbidden Love, Romantic Suspense

Ten years ago, Sawyer Gallo’s world shattered when his girlfriend vanished in an airport… only to reappear on security footage kissing another man. Betrayed and broken, he swore off love and buried himself in work until a fire destroys his beloved restaurant, The Silver Willow, and upends everything all over again.

Charli Whitmore, the fiery and fiercely independent chef of The Silver Willow, loses not just her job but the secret home she’d built in her office. Living in her van and determined to make it on her own, she reluctantly accepts Sawyer’s offer to stay in his guesthouse, strictly temporary, of course.

But as sparks fly and emotions simmer, a connection neither expected begins to deepen. When Sawyer’s past returns to haunt them and a dangerous arsonist continues to target local businesses, trust is tested, and love is put on the line.

If Sawyer and Charli want their second chance, they’ll have to fight for it… before everything goes up in smoke.
