Raffle and Romance

"Another locked box?" Harper sighed, brushing dust from the lid. "Do you think the Carters ever threw anything away?"

"Only their secrets," Graham replied, a glint in his eye.

Harper Wells prefers spreadsheets and product launches to wide-open spaces and whispered rumors. But when a bizarre raffle snafu leaves her co-owning a dilapidated homestead in the quaint town of Corral Glen with her office rival, a quiet life seems a far-off dream. She tells herself this is about property value, but underneath it all she wonders if maybe the rural charm could fix her overworked spirit.

But this rural life has some intrigue too.

Enter Graham Shaw, Harper's infuriatingly competent colleague. He’s the picture of urban sophistication, but under his tailored suits, he hides a surprising fascination with local history and an undeniable spark that Harper can't ignore. He’s always ready with a sarcastic quip, that one tiny smirky smile that drives Harper crazy.

Now, forced to cohabitate in the Carter house, a mysterious hidden treasure draws them together, even as office habits threaten to tear them apart. One wants to sell the property, one sees a future, so they continue to struggle with one another. The sensible thing to do is ignore the gentle flutter in her heart so she can get back to her spreadsheets.

But Harper has a stubborn streak and insatiable curiosity. And once Graham starts turning up the heat with those piercing eyes, he’s not so eager to leave this all behind. Will they unearth the true riches of Corral Glen, or will the ambition that once fueled their rivalry extinguish a chance at a lasting love?
