My new neighbor happens to be the grumpiest billionaire in Whispers, but his gravelly voice and golden brown eyes make this city girl weak at the knees.

When my life imploded and I lost my job and my fiancé in a matter of weeks, I didn't know what my next step should be. Then I received an inheritance that would change my life forever. Moving to a small town and renovating the old farmhouse was a step in the right direction. But bickering with my startling good looking, yet much older neighbor was not part of my plan.

Tanner Whiteman owns the largest whiskey distillery in the country, and now he wants my land. It's the only thing that I have to my name and there is no way I am letting him take it. It is clear I am not cut out for country life and Tanner has no trouble pointing that out. Although as his eyes linger a little longer and his words take new meaning, even the massive age gap is not enough to stop us.

But something does. Something Vicious. Something unexpected. And not even the local billionaire knows what is coming.
