A Plan for Escape: Small Town Romance

I TRADED THE SKYSCRAPERS FOR A PORCH LIGHT, BUT THE CITY REFUSES TO LET ME GO

I thought the hardest part was coming home. I was wrong. My name is Tessa Quinn, and I didnt just return to Cedar Ridge to plant flowers; I came back to plant roots. I found my place in the arms of Emmett Lawson, the carpenter who rebuilt my heart one porch step at a time. We were supposed to be building a future, a legacy in the form of a town park.

But the city I left behind has a long reach.

A corporate developer has arrived with deep pockets and a team of lawyers, intent on turning our history into a parking lot. They arent just coming for the land; they are coming for Emmetts workshop, his legacy, and the very ground we stand on. They offered us a way out—a settlement, a plan for escape. They thought we would take the money and run.

They forgot that Lawsons and Quinns dont run.

I spent years navigating boardrooms, and now Im using every trick I learned to protect the man who taught me what home really means. They want to bulldoze our past? Theyll have to go through me first.
