Her Ruthless Enemy

Maren Halloran runs the last independent luxury hotel on the Chicago lakefront. Her grandmother built it. Her mother made it famous. She would rather declare bankruptcy than sell it to the men who keep making offers. Then her debt is bought in the dark by three shell companies, and the man who bought it moves into her top floor with a bag and a bad habit of knowing her schedule. Nikolai Federov is a Bratva billionaire who has been waiting seventeen years for the moment the Halloran name would be his. He cancelled her bookings. He doubled her staff's pay. He gave her thirty days. What he did not plan for was Maren opening her mother's safe and finding a phone log she was never supposed to see. Her mother made a deal in 2009. His father died in a car two weeks later. Now Maren has thirty days to prove it wasn't what he thinks, and Nikolai has thirty days to decide whether he wants the hotel or the woman who runs it.
