Zane Holloway never knew his father was a multimillionaire.
He grew up in foster care, learned to fight in a boxing gym above a laundromat, and built himself from scratch — ranch hand, mechanic, survivor. Nobody gave him anything. Everything he had, he earned with his hands.
Then a lawyer in a pencil skirt walked into his garage and handed him an envelope that changed everything.
His father — a man he never met — was dead. And he'd left Zane half of everything.
The other half goes to Roman Holloway.
Roman is everything Zane is not. Wealthy,polished, devastating to look at, and raised in the life Zane was locked out of. He wears his suits like armor and his smile like a weapon, and he has never once in his life had to fight for anything.
Until now.
Because Scarlett Voss is back in Millbrook City.
She left at seventeen and spent a decade building a life in Chicago — an architecture career, an engagement she called off at two in the morning when she finally admitted she was performing a life instead of living one. She came back for her mother. She stayed becausesomething in Millbrook felt, for the first time in years, like the truth.
She did not plan on two brothers.
She did not plan on Zane fixing her porch railing on a Saturday afternoon with the quiet competence of someone who does everything properly or not at all.
She did not plan on Roman taking her to dinner and making her laugh and kissing her in a way that asked for something she wasn't sure she could give.
Both men are tall, dark, and dangerously magnetic. Both want her completely. Both are willing to compete — but only on honest terms.And Scarlett, who came back to Millbrook looking for certainty, is about to discover that certainty isn't a destination.
It's a direction.
And it's pointing somewhere she didn't expect.
