Maya Logan fled St. Jude Island for Atlanta's boardrooms, trading pluff mud and family land for Italian leather and million-dollar deals. But when her grandmother dies without a will, Maya returns to find her family's thirty acresâbought with freedom coins in 1868âin the crosshairs of a predatory developer. Crestwood Development has bought a single heir's fractional share and is forcing a partition sale to auction off the entire waterfront property. Maya has two weeks to untangle a century of clouded titles, locate dozens of scattered heirs, and wield the law like a shield against bulldozers.
Standing in her wayâand at her grandmother's porch with a sledgehammer and survey stakesâis Walker Vance. The boy who loved the land as much as she loved leaving it. The man who stayed, who knows every boundary marker and buried grudge, who never stopped building things meant to last. He's the only one who can navigate the family's tangled loyalties, but trusting him means confronting the past they both ran from.
As the tide rises and the court date looms, Maya must choose between the career she built and the legacy she abandoned. In a battle where the law is a weapon and home is the prize, the hardest case she'll ever argue is the one for a second chance.
