More than Enemies: Wixby River Farms Book Two

Declan Whittaker and Willa Hargrave have perfected the art of hating each other. More than twenty years of living next door to one another has turned childhood rivalries into an epic feud that’s the stuff of local legend—complete with elaborate pranks that would make reality TV producers weep with envy.

There’s just one tiny problem with their perfectly orchestrated war: they’ve been burning up the sheets together for the past two years.

While the rest of their families dream of the day these two might actually be civil to each other, Declan and Willa have been conducting their own private peace negotiations behind closed doors. Hot, sweaty, mind-blowing peace negotiations that Willa insists must stay their little secret. She’s got her reasons, and she’s not budging.

Declan, on the other hand, is ready to shout his feelings from the rooftops of their joint family venture—a luxury resort that’s about to put Wixby River Farms on the map. He’s madly in love with his beautiful, stubborn, impossible neighbor, and keeping quiet about it is slowly killing him.

But when a dead body crashes their grand opening celebration, their carefully hidden relationship becomes the least of their problems. The victim? A woman everyone believes was Declan’s latest conquest. The prime suspect? Declan himself. The only person who can provide his alibi? The woman who’s been secretly sharing his bed while publicly despising him.
Now Willa faces an impossible choice: save the man she’s secretly fallen for, or protect the life she’s built on lies. Because clearing Declan’s name means exposing their affair, destroying her reputation, and facing truths she’s been running from for years.

With a murderer on the loose and their families’ legacy on the line, Willa and Declan must join forces to solve the crime that threatens everything they’ve worked for. In the process, they might just discover that the thin line between love and hate was never really there at all—and that sometimes your greatest enemy can become your most passionate ally.
