MERGER AFTER MIDNIGHT

A Steamy Small Town Enemies to Lovers Forced Proximity Romance

By: Scarlett Cross, Helena von Heilig

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He came to make things right. She's spent three years making sure that's exactly what happens.

Sebastian Steele knows his family's company contaminated Millbrook's water supply. He's seen the maps. He knows what the soil tests say. And unlike every other person in his corporate circle, he intends to do something about it—even if it means burning his family's legal strategy to the ground.

Emma Thompson has been waiting for a Steele to show up in her town. She just didn't expect one who meant it.

As Millbrook's mayor—and the attorney who built the contamination case—Emma has no reason to trust Sebastian Steele. Every reason to keep him at a careful distance. And absolutely no plan for what happens when the man she's supposed to be fighting turns out to be the first person who actually shows up and stays.

Merger After Midnight is a steamy small-town romance set against the backdrop of environmental justice and corporate accountability—with an enemies-to-lovers slow burn and a hero who has to earn every inch of ground.

Standalone. Part of the Steele Brothers series.
