Book Spotlight & Giveaway: Return to Wydler by Maria Imbalzano

 

The untimely death of EJ Hampton’s father kills her dream of practicing law with him in her hometown of Wylder. Heartbroken, she now has two weeks to organize the practice for sale. When she meets her father’s millionaire client Dylan Addison, he is demanding and entitled—yet his charisma captivates her.

Dylan is under pressure to renovate the Wylder Hotel before his father pulls the plug on his project. He needs EJ’s expertise, but she is bent on returning to her life in San Francisco despite the fireworks between them.

EJ walks a tightrope trying to balance Dylan’s needs against her own, but doing so is far more complicated when emotions get in the way.

Read an Excerpt:

What was I doing reaching across the table to touch him? If that was my first thought of the morning immediately after hitting the snooze button on my alarm, I was in big trouble. I squeezed my eyes shut as if to erase the picture implanted in my brain, but I couldn’t dislodge it. Those intense blue eyes had connected with mine as his fingers stroked the palm of my hand. Even now thrills coursed up my arm, and shivers ran through my blood.

I eased out of bed, all the while trying to convince myself it meant nothing. I’d been consoling a client over the difficulties he had with his father, and he’d accepted my sympathy.

But I had never done anything remotely close to comforting a client. Sure, I was reassuring and encouraging in the face of obstacles, but I had never let my professional guard down as I had last night. What was it with Dylan Addison?

I didn’t have time to analyze it, nor did I want to. It was a one-time thing that would never happen again. End of story.
