Falling for the Secretive Silver Fox
(2026)(The second book in the Matchmaker of Willowbend series)
A novel by Maisie Sloane
I swore I'd never become my father.
Brilliant. Successful. Powerful. Died at his desk with no one who loved him.
So I came to Willowbend with a plan. A list. And a lie.
Find a suitable wife. Keep the billions quiet. Make sure she wants the man, not the money.
Clara Brooks wasn't on my list.
Too young. Too sunny. Too everything I didn't know I needed.
She argued back without flinching and lit up every room she walked into.
She had no idea the grumpy older man fixing her porch could erase her troubles with a single phone call.
I told myself to stay away.
I showed up anyway. Every single day.
She crept past every wall I'd built and made me believe I wasn't destined to end up alone.
Then the whole town found out who I really was. Before I could tell her myself.
Now she won't look at me.
I finally found something worth more than everything I've built.
I'm not walking away without a fight.
Genre: Romance
