Working for the Heiress

A gruff, protective helicopter mechanic. The owner’s daughter hiding a dangerous secret. And an instant, undeniable connection that changes everything.

Conrad Two years ago, a tragedy at Raptor Creek sent me starting over in a remote Colorado hangar. I live for peace, quiet, and working on my aircraft. I don’t have room for distractions — especially not a corporate princess sent from the east coast to become my latest headache.

One look at Lilianne Ashford, her thigh-high boots, and her curves and I forget every rule I’ve set for myself. She’s off-limits and far above my station. But when her hand grips mine, I feel familiar calluses and a firestorm I can’t fight.

She thinks she’s here to bring the office up to speed. I know the truth: she’s mine. And I’ll rip apart anyone who tries to take her from me.

Lili I’m trapped under the thumb of a powerful father whose empire is built on dark money. This regional manager job in Forge Creek is supposed to be a temporary assignment to unlock my trust fund so I can finally escape for good.

I practiced being professional, warm, and perfectly distant. What I didn’t prepare for was Conrad Holt — a massive, hard-working mechanic carved from brushed steel, with a gravelly voice that strips away my armor with a single word: Mine.

What I find buried in the company files could destroy my father and put a target on my back. It will cost me my family, my fortune, and my safety. But with Conrad’s protective arms around me, I’m done running.

He was the first man to ever touch me — and he’s the only one I’ll trust with the truth.
