The Promise of Home

This dyed-in-the-wool country girl will do anything to protect the home she loves... A fast-paced, heartwarming rural romance from a USA Today bestselling Australian author.

Entrusted to run her grandfather's real estate business, Karlana Vogel's determined to make it thrive. Pop raised her in small-town Acacia Haven after her parents died, so the family legacy is her pride and joy. When the competition, a cocky city mogul, breezes into town with a deal to take over, she's incensed.

Hudson Grenville came from less than nothing and has worked nonstop to turn it all around. But he's only a hard-nosed salesman on the outside - buying the Vogels' agency is the linchpin he needs to make his housing project for homeless kids work. Unless he's willing to let down all those counting on him, he has no choice but to stick around town and try to persuade Karly to sell.

Despite being on opposite sides of the boardroom, the deal is complicated by the chemistry that keeps bringing them back to the table. Both parties will have to assess what they want out of life. And what they're willing to give up...
