Attraction

I didn't expect the battle to save our town's beloved park to come with high-stakes intrigue-and I certainly didn't expect my charmingly infuriating old flame, Shane, to be at the heart of it all. We were once the kind of young and reckless that's harmless in a small town, but life, as it turns out, had different plans. Now, Shane's back, along with a sleek corporate agenda to turn our history into "progress." Between me and the town's fate stands a juggernaut of developers with cash to burn, an agenda to push, and plenty of shiny promises to sweeten the deal for anyone willing to forget what makes our little corner of the world irreplaceable. But I'm not letting them erase our memories without a fight, even if it means taking on Shane-and every infuriating smirk he throws my way. When we clash, sparks fly, but who's really calling the shots? And when shadowy strangers appear with threats disguised as "opportunity," I'm starting to realize that the stakes are higher-and closer to home-than I ever imagined. Sometimes, to save your roots, you have to dig deep.
