THEY WANT TO BULLDOZE MY LEGACY, BUT THEY HAVE TO GET THROUGH US FIRST
I've spent my whole life building things that last. My name is Emmett Lawson, and I thought I knew how to protect what was mine. I fixed the porch, I restored the workshop, and I finally convinced the woman I've loved since childhood that she belongs here with me. We were supposed to be starting our life, not defending it.
But a hundred-year-old secret is threatening to tear it all down.
A clerical error in a dusty file has turned into a demolition order. They aren't just coming for my land; they are coming to erase my grandfather's history and pave over our future. I'm used to solving problems with my hands, but I can't fight a team of corporate lawyers with a hammer. For the first time, I feel the foundation slipping beneath my boots.
I thought I had to be the strong one. I was wrong.
Tessa Quinn isn't the girl who ran away anymore. She's the woman standing beside me, staring down the bulldozers with a fire that scares even me. She is the storm that protects this home, and I am the anchor that holds her steady.
They think they can buy us out or scare us off. But they forgot one thing: I built this life for her, and I will burn it to the ground before I let anyone take it from us.
