Part of Shacking Up
First published 2019
Lincoln Moorehead has spent years keeping his distance from his family's chaos. His parents' wreck of a marriage, his self-absorbed younger brother, the endless Moorehead Media drama. Then his father dies and Lincoln gets pulled back in, named CEO over his brother's furious objections. He knows nothing about running a media empire and looks the part in all the wrong ways. Wren Sterling is the fixer. She has been quietly managing Moorehead Media's messes for a while, and when she is handed a new contract to turn Lincoln from a rough-edged wilderness type into something boardroom-ready, she takes it. The pay is better and it gets her closer to her own goals. She does not expect to like him. He does not expect to want her around. But the attraction is real and it builds fast. Lincoln starts to let his guard down. Wren starts to lose her footing. Then a new Moorehead scandal surfaces, one bad enough to force Wren to choose between protecting her own family and standing beside the stubborn, guarded man she has fallen for.
