She’s starting over… 

But her past catches up with her

After a baseless lawsuit throws her life into turmoil, single mom Rachel Evers needs a fresh start. And with a new job in beautiful Emerald Ridge, her life finally seems to be moving in the right direction—until she learns who her boss’s father is.  

Oakley Fortune can’t believe his luck in hiring such a consummate professional…even if he can’t ignore the more-than-strictly-business connection he has with Rachel and her adorable baby. But when Rachel discovers his father was the one behind the lawsuit, Oakley risks losing her for good. Can he convince her that he’s not a carbon copy of his father, and that Rachel is the true VIP?
