For a New York billionaire and a country girl bar owner with a smart mouth, one deal could change everything.
Grayson Ashborne is public enemy number one in laidback Denver, where the locals really don’t like the idea of a ruthless New York billionaire taking over their football team, the Stormhawks… especially local fan bar owner Flic Moore. She’s as sassy and straight-talking as she is beautiful. But Grayson is used to getting whatever he wants…
Flic might just be the leader of Grayson’s hate club. The most beloved Stormhawks fan in the city, she has nothing but an eye roll to offer the infuriatingly handsome out-of-town billionaire. Until he makes her an offer she can’t refuse: help him win over the fans, and he’ll buy her bar’s premises and sign it over to her. No more rent hikes, no more landlords.
It’s strictly business. Until it’s not… soon they’re sharing intimate private jets to away games, heated debates in stadium boxes, and steamy elevator rides to penthouse apartments. Flic’s willpower when it comes to Grayson begins to crumble as fast as the walls around her heart.
But can Flic help Grayson win over the fans before it’s too late for her beloved bar? And when family duty calls, will Grayson rush right back to New York to protect the infamous Ashborne name…?
A spicy but sweet enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance, perfect for fans of Carrie Elks, Lauren Asher and Stephanie Archer.
When an out-of-town billionaire becomes the new owner of the hometown football team, fans have something to say.
Author Bella North puts Grayson Ashborne up against the team’s self-designated number one fan, Flic Moore. Sealing the Deal serves up a spicy, enemies-to-lovers story that is super satisfying.
Flic, the owner of a local sports bar, has little time or patience for nonsense. She’s barely able to hold on financially, so the last thing she needs is a corporate raider to destroy her livelihood.
