Hearts of the Heartland, Book 2
She deals in high-end vintage. He believes in the letter of the law. But some hearts can’t be flipped for a profit.
Piper Thorne lives her life behind a ring light. To her thousands of followers, she’s the "Vintage Queen," a chic entrepreneur who turned a crumbling Georgia inheritance into a digital empire. But behind the designer silk and perfectly staged photos, Piper is hiding a life that’s coming apart at the seams. She’s in Oak Ridge to rebuild, and she doesn't have time for local interference—especially not from a deputy who looks at her like she’s a public nuisance.
Deputy Rhett Miller likes his town quiet, orderly, and predictable. Piper Thorne is none of those things. With her constant stream of delivery trucks and late-night "live sales," she’s a walking violation of town ordinances. Rhett is determined to bring her business up to code, but the more time he spends "inspecting" her Victorian attic, the more he realizes that Piper isn't just selling the past—she’s running from it.
When a disaster at the house forces the two of them into a reluctant partnership, the bickering turns into a high-tension attraction that neither of them saw coming. Rhett is a man who values things built to last, and Piper has spent her life making broken things look brand new.
In a world obsessed with perfection, they’re about to discover that the most beautiful things—and the strongest loves—are the ones accepted Sold As Is.
