Sawyer Alburn has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wants. Power. Success. Control.
As one of Phoenix Ridge’s most formidable billionaire CEOs, she doesn’t compromise, doesn’t back down, and certainly doesn’t let emotions get in the way of business.
Then Nellie Fuller chains herself to a tree on Sawyer’s land.
Passionate, stubborn, and infuriatingly beautiful, Nellie is determined to stop a multimillion-dollar development project from destroying a protected forest. Most people are intimidated by Sawyer.
Nellie isn’t. Instead of having her removed, Sawyer offers her a challenge. Sixty days. Prove the forest is worth saving, and Sawyer will walk away. Fail, and the project goes ahead.
It should have been simple. Instead, every argument sparks with tension. Every day spent together becomes harder to ignore.
And the woman standing in Sawyer’s way quickly becomes the one thing she can’t stop wanting.
But when a secret from the past threatens the fragile trust growing between them, Sawyer must decide what’s more important: protecting the empire she’s spent her life building… or risking everything for the one woman capable of bringing her to her knees.
Because for the first time in her life, walking away may not be an option.
