Wild River - Laura Pavlov

\nA Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Found Family, Standalone Romance from USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov. \n \nRuby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself. \nI may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury. \nAnd I'd never minded a good verbal sparring. \nThere was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen. \nMaybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another. \nBut the more we fought--the more I craved her. \nUntil our arguing turned into a bit of a wager. \nOne I was determined to win. \nOne time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share. \nI'd work my magic and she'd declare me the winner. \nI'd gloat, she'd sulk--that was my plan. \nShe was determined to prove me wrong. \nBut from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back. \nShe was so far under my skin I couldn't think straight. \nFeeling things that I'd never felt before was one thing. \nBut knowing the clock was ticking was another. \nRuby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn't offering forever. \nAnd now my world doesn't work without her in it. \nBut how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?\n
