After This (Reluctant Hearts Series Book 1)

A steamy contemporary romance about what happens when a charming executive discovers that sometimes you can mix business with pleasure . . .

Alec Mason's job as VP of public relations for his family's successful real estate company is perfect for the charismatic playboy who's been named one of Houston's most eligible bachelors the last five years running. But now, instead of the cushy job he's used to, Alec has been shipped off to Colorado to close a crucial deal on a run-down racetrack sitting on a prime piece of real estate worth millions.

Unfortunately, the one thing standing in the way isn't the property owner, it's his prickly daughter—who's not only smart and snarky, she's also the sexiest woman Alec's ever met.

Sage Wells doesn't care how hot or charming Alec Mason is. To her, he's just the latest vulture to darken her family's door, promising big payouts in exchange for walking away from their struggling dirt track. But without the Rocky Mile Raceway, Sage has no idea who she is—something a rich kid like Alec can't possibly understand. The only problem is, Alec keeps showing her that he's more than meets the eye.

And when the two of them finally give into their attraction, it becomes clear what's really at stake.

Their hearts.
