Stealing Hope

Sometimes, hope can be stolen... and hearts along with it.

Kennedy Tarkington is done with love.

Kimbell's go-to accountant has been on the losing end of a record streak of failed relationships, branding her with an embarrassing nickname and a newfound skepticism about happily-ever-afters. Putting her string of heartbreaks behind her, she turns all her energy toward unraveling the mystery of a decades-old deed that could help her reclaim land stolen from her family.

But she never expected her quest for justice would lead her into the arms of Kimbell's most eligible bachelor-the very man she's suing.

Luke Diamond has finally found a place where he belongs.

Kimbell's golden boy is the firefighter everyone can count on, known for his selflessness and cherished for his generosity. After inheriting land from his grandfather, he's determined to turn the land into a profitable venture to secure its future.

But when a beautiful number-cruncher with a chip on her shoulder threatens to strip him of his family's legacy, Luke finds himself drawn to the one woman he should resist at all costs.

Forced under the same roof by a surprising court ruling, Kennedy and Luke's animosity gives way to an undeniable attraction.

From courtroom adversaries to kindred spirits, they navigate their growing feelings, haunted by family secrets and past heartbreaks. Each stolen moment together only raises the stakes higher, pitting their family loyalties against their hearts. As the heat between them intensifies, so does the risk of getting burned.

When a devastating fire puts both their lives and their love to the test, Kennedy and Luke must decide what truly matters: the land they're fighting over or the love they're fighting for.

With generations of family history hanging in the balance, every choice becomes a turning point. Will they risk it all for a chance at love, or let their past define their future?
