Excerpt: 

“Spending time with you is far too dangerous. Before you know it, you’ll be back in New York and you’ll leave me here in Star Falls with nothing but memories and a broken heart. Last night was… we both needed it. And now we don’t have to wonder what it might be like between us. Hopefully it gives us the closure we both need.”

My insides swoop and my muscles tense. I sit up, mirroring her position. What is she talking about?

Closure?

That was the start of something, not the end of anything.

“That’s what last night was about for you? Closure?”

She pulls in a breath, like she’s trying to find the answer. “I can’t deny there’s something between us, Jack—”

“Good,” I say. “Because if you did, you’d be lying to yourself.”

Her eyes lower to her fingers, linked together in front of her. “We needed to follow it through. Get it out of our system or something.”

“How’s that working for you?” I ask. “Am I out of your system?”

Blurb: 

In my world, love comes with a rulebook.

Marry the right girl. From the right family. With the right last name.

I’m Jack Alden—the only son of the Alden dynasty. The kind of New York family that’s been around since ships were made of wood and fortunes were built on steel.

My mother’s been trying to find me a “suitable” wife for years.

So naturally, I fall for a woman who couldn’t care less about any of it.

Iris Williams.

I first saw her at the New York City Ballet—crying in the stalls like the music had cracked her open. She didn’t know who I was. She wasn’t performing for anyone. She was just… real.

One night with her, and I remembered what it felt like to actually breathe.

Then she disappeared.

Months later, I find her again—on a fruit farm in the middle of Colorado, hurling raspberries at me like she’s auditioning for a food fight. Turns out, Iris is smart, stubborn, and not remotely impressed by a billionaire with a trust fund and an overbearing mother.

She makes me laugh.

She makes me think.

And for the first time in my life, I want something that isn’t written in my family’s history books.

But old money comes with old rules.

And loving Iris means breaking every single one.

They say you can’t choose where you come from.

Maybe not.

But you can choose who you fight for.

And this time, I’m choosing her.

Because when it comes to Iris Williams—I don’t just love.

I love hard.
