The Back Forty (Whitewood Creek Farm #5)

A stroke at twenty-seven wasn’t what I had planned for my late twenties but there I was, laying in a hospital bed, hearing the doctor tell me I needed to quit my high-stakes, tech sales job and make some major life changes.So I finally did it.

I walked away from a lucrative salary, endless potential, a possessive boyfriend and long hours to move to the opposite coast and join a thriving family business focused on selling...

eggs and whiskey?Many people thought I was crazy, including myself, but I decided to dive right in.

Find a new rhythm and try not to think about what I was leaving behind.Until I met my new boss and coworker, Lawson Marshall.Thirty-seven years old with hazel eyes that looked caramel in the east coast sunshine.

He knows what he’s doing in a boardroom, I wonder if he knows what he’s doing out of one too...

Lawson:I’ve always preferred working alone, the same way I live my life.

But when my siblings force me to hire a sales and marketing assistant, I eventually give in.Then I meet her.Daniela Alba.

Gorgeous brown eyes.

Hair to match.

Off-limits in every way.

She’s my employee, someone I should never even look at.

So I test her, throw her into situations where she’s bound to fail.

Except she never does.

She always comes out on top.We keep our distance…until we can’t.

A twist of circumstances lands us as unexpected roommates, and I realize no amount of ignoring or distraction can stop what’s been building between us.She’s not just my employee anymore, she’s my closest friend and my weakness.

And now? I want her.
