Welcome to Primrose Hill, where the James family isn't just part of the community—they're the heart of it all.
He believes he’s the person who leaves when things get hard. She believes she’s the person people leave.
After a decade as a Navy SEAL, Weston James is home for good. But returning means facing the guilt he’s carried since walking away when his family needed him most. Stepping into the CFO role at his family’s winery is his chance to make things right. To prove that this time, he’s staying.
There’s just one complication: the winery’s event planner, Hollis Bradley.
Hollis has built a life entirely on her own. After watching her parents move on and build new families without her, she learned she could only truly count on herself. Depending on others only led to heartbreak.
Weston and Hollis have been getting under each other’s skin since the day they met. Now working side by side, their constant arguments give way to an attraction they can’t resist and a connection neither will acknowledge.
Giving in to the attraction is simple. Only physical. Only temporary.
Until it isn’t.
For Weston, wanting Hollis means confronting a life spent putting duty before himself and learning what it means to choose something simply because it makes him happy. For Hollis, letting Weston in means giving someone the chance to leave her behind all over again.
Wanting each other was never the problem.
Trusting each other enough to relinquish control might be.
Reader Note:Cost is a steamy, open-door contemporary romance intended for readers 18+ and contains explicit sexual content.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
