Wild River: Special Edition Paperback (Magnolia Falls Series Special Edition)

About this book

In the charming town of Magnolia Falls, small-town lawyer River and the sharp-witted, independent Ruby Rose find themselves locked in a battle of wills. When Ruby returns home to care for her father following a health crisis, she immediately clashes with River, a man who prides himself on his stubborn nature. What begins as a bitter "enemies to lovers" dynamic fueled by sharp banter and mutual frustration soon shifts into an undeniable, electric chemistry that neither can ignore. Desperate to avoid the complications of a real relationship, the two enter into a secret, "no-strings-attached" hookup arrangement. They convince themselves that their connection is purely physical and temporary, especially with Ruby’s looming departure to pursue her teaching career. However, as the lines between their agreement and reality begin to blur, River finds himself completely obsessed, breaking his own rules and fighting to prove that the risk of love is worth the reward. Featuring a "boy obsessed" hero and a "black cat" heroine, this emotional slow-burn explores the healing power of found family. As the clock ticks down on their time together, Ruby and River must decide if they are brave enough to let their walls crumble and choose a future neither expected.
