The Tree Farm Clause

Kate Donnelly built her Toronto career turning family businesses into stories. The one story she never tells is her own: the Christmas tree farm near Erin she walked away from at seventeen, and the grandfather whose will has now left her half of it. The other half belongs to Nick Fraser, the manager who ran the farm for ten years and lives in the farmhouse with his nine-year-old daughter. The will is blunt. Hit $150,000 in season sales by Christmas Eve, or the land is sold to a resort developer. She has not spent a December in Erin since she was seventeen, and Nick has no reason to trust the granddaughter who stayed away while he kept the fields alive. The count only moves when they work as partners. Kate has twenty-four days, one paper ledger, and a loft over the kitchen. Steamy, open-door, guaranteed HEA.
