The Merger Bargain
From rivals to romance, against all odds
​
Kenadee
Managing the family business and bringing our offerings into the future should be easy, but the board is mired in ‘this is how we’ve always done it’. Then a codicil to Grammy’s will is discovered, declaring I must be married by the age of thirty-two or lose my place in the company. That’s only two months from now.
​
My laid-back, older brother, who’s been given until he’s thirty-six, finds the whole situation hilarious.
​
How am I going to find a man I can tolerate in two, short months?

Within a year I’ll be a billionaire—more successful than I’d believed possible when I started my online business right out of college. I have everything I need. All the trappings of success. Along with everything I want…except my best friend’s little sister.
​
She turned a cold shoulder to me years ago when we first met and hasn’t warmed up a bit since then. She’s in trouble now, both personal and business. I know just how to help.
​
Against all the odds, can we forge a strong partnership and turn our rivalry into romance?
