Falling Inn Hate

Kobie Scott is on the cusp of fulfilling her long-time dream. When the neglected Lyons Manor goes up on the market, all Kobie wants is to restore it to its former glory - just as her late mother aspired to. Then a bigshot hotel developer swoops in at the last minute with deep-pockets and a competing offer, and Kobie's dream starts to slip out of her grasp. But she's not going down without a fight. Xavier King just wants to seal this deal and get back to his New Jersey office, but this blonde walking encyclopedia seems determined to thwart his every move. Now, thanks to an ages-old bylaw, they're stuck in the run-down manse together in a three-week battle of wills to see who can win the property. Forced to contend with power outages, unexpected tenants, and their crumbling surroundings, Kobie and Xavier are both intent on walking away with the deed. But they're so focused on evicting the vagrant wildlife that they don't notice their feelings are setting up house. Xavier is convinced he can devise a plan where they both end up satisfied. But Kobie has been left high and dry by all the important people in her life, and there's no reason for her to think Xavier won't do the same. is a dual 1st person POV, steamy small-town romance with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
