From New York Times Bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It all started with a bet. When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather's historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up. Notice I said half of the Inn. The other half now belonged to Levi Miller, the famous quarterback who had other ideas about what we should do with the property. We won't mention that I accidentally injured him during our first meeting, causing him to get eight stitches. You could say we got off on the wrong foot. We bickered a lot as we both moved into the property while we figured things out. He wanted to unload the rundown place which, admittedly, needed a lot of work. I wanted to restore The Palm Inn to its original beauty and re-open it as a bed and breakfast. We couldn't agree on anything. So Levi made me a proposal. One he thought I would surely lose. If I could sell out the place by the time he had to leave for training at the end of summer, he would back off and let me run it. But in the weeks that followed, we got more than we bargained for while we were living under the same roof. Levi and I got closer, and before I knew it, my nightly fantasies about the brawny Adonis became a reality. Not to mention, he was so great with my son. We were in over our heads in more ways than one. Because not only was he the last man on Earth I should be falling for because of our deal, but Levi was also my ex's older brother. And now the inn was the least of my problems.

Dynamic Duo has done it again! I'm in love with the hot cruncle (crappy uncle).
Levi is dubbed the cruncle by his nephew Alex after arriving at their inherited bed & breakfast in a bad mood. It didn't take long for Levi to lose the bad attitude. He & Presley build a strong relationship organically. He falls in love with Presley & Alex...only problem his brother Tanner decides that he wants his family back and moves to Beaufort.
Ugh the emotions were strong in this book. They are truly in a lose lose situation and Levi makes his choice thinking he is doing what's best for everyone...
Fave quotes:
‘Never forget the comfort of just sitting under an oak tree and watching that amazing southern sunset. Never forget the taste of sweet tea made right. And down-home cooking—if you don't find someone who can make it like Mamaw, make it your damn self! (Or learn if you still don't know how.) And if for some reason you're reading this and missing home, maybe it's damn well time you went back.'—-the entire letter from Presley's mamaw was beautiful but I love this the most
