Love Overdue (Rightbrain Romance Book 2)

Celia Calthorp, Duchess of Acaster, is sick of always being on the edge of disaster. Now that widowhood has finally given her the freedom to make her own choices, she knows exactly what she needs to do—marry a rich man to secure her future and that of her beloved stables. And it’s all going to plan…until it isn’t.

In a small town where only some play by the rules, Afton dreams of opening a legitimate whiskey distillery alongside her renegade grandpa. But lurking in the shadows is a vindictive mayor, hell-bent on crushing their ambitions.

To complicate matters further, Afton recognizes that one of the city council members with the power to decide their fate is the very man she shared a reckless night of teenage passion with—the one who never called. Now, she must reconcile the boy from her past with the irresistible, accomplished man who constantly crosses her path.

For no-nonsense, less-than-warm Rowyn Jeong, being labeled the plainer, wicked stepsister has never bothered her…until Darius Fiore reappears in her life. Months ago, they indulged in a hot one-night stand, and the sexy business tycoon branded her like no man had before. But his return threatens her position within her stepfather's company, and he’s the man her stepsister Cindy has within her sights—and hands. Behind closed doors, Daruis discovered more lay beneath Rowyn’s hard exterior than the ice queen she presents to her family. Now, he understands the aloof reserve. Her family’s disregard has left her hungry for love and acceptance. But breaking down her walls will be no easy task. Especially since his presence threatens everything she’s worked so hard to achieve.
