Clayton: A Contemporary Small Town Romance

He lost her once. He won't lose her again.

Clayton Darcy swore he'd never be like his father. But when the man threatened to destroy everything-his family, his business, his mother-Clayton fought back. He played dirty. And he won.

But victory came at a cost.

Six months ago, Annalee gave him a choice-be honest or walk away. He let her go, convinced it was the only way to protect her. Now, the war is almost over, and there's only one thing left to fight for. Her.

But Annalee isn't the woman he left behind. She's stronger now. Colder. And she's not about to let Clayton waltz back into her life just because he suddenly decides he wants her again.

Too bad Clayton has never been one to accept defeat.

As past betrayals resurface and old enemies close in, the battle for redemption turns deadly. Because in their world, love isn't a fairytale-it's a war. And Clayton intends to win.
