Against the Wall (Montana Mavericks Book 1)

When Sophie Smith tumbles—literally—into the arms of a broad-shouldered Montana cowboy, she's convinced the universe is finally cutting her a break.

She's wrong.

Sophie arrives in Maverick County with one goal: survey the land and green-light a luxury golf course development that will make her career. What she doesn't count on is the rugged, dark-eyed stranger who catches her mid-stumble turning out to be Jake Lodge—the fiercely determined tribal lawyer who's sworn to shut her entire project down before the first stake hits the ground.

Now they're facing each other across conference tables instead of open fields, and the electricity crackling between them is proving far more dangerous than any legal argument. Jake sees Sophie as the polished face of corporate destruction threatening everything he's built his life protecting. Sophie sees Jake as an immovable obstacle standing between her and everything she's worked for. Neither of them planned on also seeing someone they can't stop thinking about after midnight.

Set against the sweeping backdrop of big sky country, Against the Wall delivers sizzling tension wrapped in wide-open Montana wilderness. Zanetti masterfully layers sharp courtroom showdowns with stolen moments that leave both Sophie and Jake questioning everything—their loyalties, their ambitions, and whether the line between enemy and lover was ever as clear as they believed.

When the land they're fighting over forces them together, the real battle becomes one neither of them expected to lose—their hearts.
