Summary
It's all fun and games until someone falls in love.

Maya Tessier needs a fresh start after her last boyfriend dragged her deep into an organised crime ring, putting her life in danger. After inheriting a cottage and an acreage in France from her great-grandmother, she hopes to escape her turbulent past to concentrate on her art. Unfortunately, her inheritance is within the estate of a privacy-obsessed billionaire. And he wants it all back.

Jacques de Launay has led a life of rigid control working hard to repair the family's fortune after his place father nearly destroyed them. His one attempt at happiness ended in a tragedy after his pregnant wife was killed in a car crash. He'd rather be the last in the illustrious de Launay family line than open himself up to that kind of heartache again. Then Maya Tessier arrives on his doorstep and he discovers it's not only the ancestral land he want to reclaim.

But if he alets her stay, more than his heart may be at risk.

My views
Maya and Jacques are a match made in heaven. Maya is a vixen in every sense of the word with a soft heart and Jacques has a tough shell concealing his tortured soul. When they meet, sparks fly.
The story is humorous and heartwarming with enough heat to require an extinguisher, which you won't want to use. It is fast paced novel with no threat to all the Grammar Nazi's out there.
Charles (Jaques's grandfather) is a delight.
Read it, you won't regret it.
