The Reluctant Billionaire’s Fake Fiancée: A Engagement, Enemies-to-Lovers, Small Town Billionaire Romance

Lucas Vale is a powerful tech billionaire who knows how to win deals, but not hearts. He came to Maple Ridge to sell the farm. She was there to make sure he didn't. Lucas Vale built his empire on one rule: leave Maple Ridge behind and never look back. He spent fifteen years doing exactly that - building companies, closing deals, and becoming one of the most powerful men in Manhattan. Then his grandmother dies and leaves him a farm he cannot sell, a two-year residency clause he cannot escape, and a town full of people who have absolutely no interest in being impressed by him. >The town's most trusted veterinarian has seen what men like Lucas do to communities like Maple Ridge. She watched developers smile at this valley before dismantling everything her neighbors built. She has no intention of watching it happen again. >Clara has conditions. Non-negotiable ones. Lucas agrees to every single one. >He came to Maple Ridge to handle an inheritance. He stayed because of her. Now he has to convince Clara that this time, the billionaire in the expensive coat is exactly what she thinks he isn't.
