The Last Goodbye by Laura Pavlov

She is enemy number one. The sexy small-town romance for fans of Lucy Score and Elsie Silver.

Briar Sinclair came to Blue Sky Bay with a multimillion-dollar plan and one goal: to buy my restaurant. Too bad it’s not for sale. She’s pulled every stunt in the book to get my attention, though I refuse to engage with a woman who came here to ruin my life.

Unfortunately, my restaurant is the last thing standing in the way of her powerful father’s approval, and she refuses to take no for an answer. She’s determined to convince me that this is a good idea. We can agree to disagree. But that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying the effort that she’s putting in.

One minute she’s arguing with me about real estate; the next she’s tripping outside my houseboat or falling asleep behind my restaurant after working herself to exhaustion. Did I mention the fact that she’s insanely beautiful?

I should hate her for what she’s trying to do. Instead, I can’t stop noticing her pretty pink mouth or her sharp tongue. The more we clash, the harder it becomes to remember that she’s the enemy.
Because somewhere between the arguments, late nights, and undeniable attraction—Briar Sinclair stopped feeling like the woman trying to destroy my future…and she started feeling like she belonged in it.
