The Manor

What do you get when you mix the newest luxury resort in small-town America with greed, rival billionaire families, and murder? The five-star unraveling of my life. Devon Donnelly is a former British secret agent with ties to clandestine organizations. He’s also the proud new owner of The Manor at Winslet, and the host of my wedding from hell. It may be a wedding, but there will be no marriage. It all started six weeks ago when my world turned on a dime. Or, since I’m a Madison, it turned on a cool billion.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Brynne Asher comes a small-town, woman-on-the-run, age-gap romance. Oh yeah, there’s a jewelry heist too. I’d like to say my story began when I almost accidentally killed Jett Parker Cross, but it started long before that. I wish I could kick this spectacle off with a “not to be dramatic” but it was. After all, Jett just had major surgery. The kind that includes a brand new, life-saving organ. Say less. Horrifying. Mortifying. And dramatic.

I ran away from Winslet years ago with a broken heart, a shattered future, and the knowledge I could never return. Not for my family. Not for the memories. And definitely not for Payne Deacon, the boy who owned my heart. He was my childhood best friend. My safe place. My first love. My everything. He knew every ugly piece of me and loved me anyway—right up until I destroyed us and didn’t look back. Now I’m home and trying to outrun the dangerous mess I left behind in New York. What I didn’t expect was the force of Payne.
