HudsonGive me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and Ill jump in with both feet. Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea. As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer were here, the more things feel ... off. Its not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wildes End isnt as abandoned as we were told. But theres nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side. Terrible decisions? Me? Wilde can bring it on. WildeI escaped to Wildes End twenty years ago, and since then Ive dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I dont have the time or energy to face everything Ive been running from. The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, its time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do. But Ive never faced someone like Hudson. His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until were locked in a game neither of us will walk away from. With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes Im starting to question whether I can win this one. But if I lose, this town isnt the only thing on the line.
