In the North Sea village of Little Spitmarsh, a London-based real estate developer and a beautiful boat yard owner lock horns over property and passion.
Real estate developer Matthew Corrigan plans to turn the abandoned Spitmarsh Yacht Club into a first-class restaurant. To complete his vision, he intends to make a deal with Harry Watling, owner of the boatyard across the harbor. An apartment complex on Harry’s land would help put Little Spitmarsh back on the map. The only trouble is, Harry’s more stubborn than Matthew anticipated—and a whole lot prettier, too . . .
Harriet “Harry” Watling spent the past five years keeping her father’s boatyard afloat, so she’s not keen on some hotshot Londoner strolling in to make a quick buck off of her family land—no matter how distractingly handsome he is. Proposing to build an apartment complex on the untouched landscape might as well be a declaration of war. But as the tension builds between them, a declaration of love may not be far behind.
