The Billionaire's Retreat

A rickety mountain bridge. A girl on the edge. A stranger who saved her life and vanished into the woods.

Fifteen years later, Jill Russell runs The Retreat — a holistic wellness center tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, built to preserve the one place that saved her life. A yoga instructor. A healer. A woman who turned her worst night into her life's work. But the bookings are thin, the bank is circling, and the man they've sent to evaluate her property wants to bulldoze everything she's built.

Patrick Scott is a thirty-year-old real estate developer with skyrocketing blood pressure and a luxury resort he's dying to break ground on. He doesn't do yoga. He doesn't do meditation. He doesn't do mountain air and herbal tea and women with striking blue eyes who challenge him to seven days of stress relief.

But Jill dares him. One week. Sunrise hikes, meditation, vegan cookies, the works. If she can lower his blood pressure, he'll consider saving her bridge. If she can't, she walks away from the only home she's ever known.

Seven days in the mountains. A freezing night lost in the woods with nothing but each other for warmth. A business partner pushing for a lucrative zip line where her sacred bridge still stands. And a week that's running out faster than either of them expected.

A heartwarming Southern mountain romance about old wounds, second chances, and the quiet people who save us when we can't save ourselves.
