Small-Town Boss

By: Em Petrova

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Love runs deep, but secrets cut deeper—will their hearts survive the fall?

Axel Foxfire, aka Big Ax, has spent his whole life in the shadow of towering pines and sawdust-scented summers. But nothing prepared him for the weight of taking over the family logging company after his father’s death. The business is on the brink of collapse, and there’s a financial mess in the books he can't untangle. To make matters worse—or maybe better—his curvy, quiet bookkeeper, Eva, is just a few feet away, tempting him with every shy glance.

Widowed and raising her young son alone, Eva is no stranger to hard work. Her late husband left her with little more than a heap of debt—and a dark secret involving the very company that now keeps food on her table. She wants to tell Ax the truth, but every time she works up the courage, he gets too close. And when the man smells like fresh-cut cedar and whispers dirty promises? Yeah, words don’t exactly come easy.

Ax knows he should keep things professional. But the way Eva looks at him? It wrecks his already thin resolve. He wants to protect her and her son, spoil her rotten, and pin her to his bed—or maybe against a downed tree. Either way, he’s all in.

But when the truth comes to light, Eva fears she’s about to lose everything—her job, her reputation, and the only man who’s ever made her feel truly safe. Can Ax and Eva find their way through a tangled mess of secrets, or will their chance at love be cut down before it even begins?

If you love heart-tugging emotion, a swoon-worthy protector, and just the right amount of steam, this small-town romance is your next one-click obsession!
