Returning Home — A.L. Parks

Clarissa has escaped the hurt pain and nightmares of the past. She constructed an impenetrable wall around her heart. But the secrets she has locked away threaten to be exposed when Clarissa returns home to settle her father's estate. Meeting arrogant, judgmental Griff, her father's young partner, only adds to the chaos and confusion. Griff built his custom bike shop from nothing into a thriving success. After the sudden death of his silent partner, Griff finds himself in a fight to save his business from Clarissa, his new haughty partner with a surly attitude. When the two discover they both want the same things -- in business and in love -- it seems nothing can get in their way of making their dreams come true. Nothing except the cruel, public exposure of Clarissa's deepest, darkest secrets. It's a battle against the ghosts of the past that they must win in order to have a future together. But is their love strong enough to survive?
