Fight or Flight: A Spicy Small-Town Romcom

Natalie Alvarez came to sell the estate and leave. Falling for the conservationist blocking her exit was NOT the plan.

Returning to deal with her inheritance should've been simple. Show up, sign papers, vanish before anyone notices she's there. But the sprawling property Natalie inherited from the family who'd pretended she never existed comes with a complication: Ethan Pierce, a devastatingly attractive research professor who's spent years restoring the wetlands—and who's determined to stop the sale.

Ethan knows he can change Natalie's mind. All he needs is time to show her what the land means, what he's built there, why it matters. What he didn't expect? For Natalie to be so stubborn, so guarded, and so completely impossible to stop thinking about.

She's a walking contradiction—sharp-tongued and defensive one minute, vulnerable the next. And the more time they spend together, the more Ethan realizes he's not just fighting for the land anymore. He's falling for the woman with one foot out the door.

A steamy, banter-filled enemies-to-lovers romcom where the only thing more persistent than his environmental arguments is the way he's falling for her.
