Winning His Trust
After a painful breakup, Jordan Wood returns home determined to prove she can successfully manage her family's store. Partnering with Declan Porter's struggling outdoor-adventure business could strengthen both companies, but the single father is resistant to changing either his methods or his guarded personal life. Shared work draws Jordan close to Declan and his son while past disappointments make trust harder than attraction. Reassuring and faith-centered, this contemporary romance suits readers who enjoy small businesses, single dads, professional partnerships, and second-chance homecomings where building a future requires releasing old definitions of failure.
