Must Have Been Love (The Fitzgeralds Book 1)

Inheriting a crumbling bar from the father who never bothered to stick around was never part of the plan—but neither was Hudson Fitzgerald.

When Mia arrives in the charming chaos of small-town life to claim her unexpected inheritance, she's determined to prove she's more capable than anyone gives her credit for. What she isn't prepared for is butting heads with the town's most infuriatingly attractive resident at every single turn. Hudson Fitzgerald has it all—money, a broody scowl perfected to an art form, and an ironclad opinion that Mia doesn't belong here. As a single dad and de facto small-town royalty, he's used to calling the shots. And his verdict on Mia? She's chaos in a crop top, and she needs to go.

Too bad she's not going anywhere.

Mia didn't travel all this way to hand over what's rightfully hers just because some gorgeous control freak with a God complex thinks he can intimidate her into leaving. If that means sparring with Hudson daily over her rickety bar, her questionable renovation choices, and basically her entire existence—fine. She can handle it.

What she can't quite handle is the electric pull beneath all that friction. Or the way his rare smiles make her forget exactly why she can't stand him. Or what happens when their bickering shifts into something dangerously close to chemistry.

Hudson Fitzgerald might have just met the one woman he can't manage to walk away from.
