Dark Why-Choose Romance · Ashworth Vane
Vacant Possession
She refused their money in front of all three of them. After ten that night, one of them was holding the car door.
Housing solicitor Megan Lockwood is twenty-six, on a law centre's salary, and the only thing standing between Ashworth Vane and the thirty-eight households of Cottam Court, a red-brick block in Headingley the firm bought for £6.8 million and wants empty. Alistair Ransome, the partner who decides, gives her the terms without raising his voice: £9,000 a household to go quietly, or every flat taken on the redevelopment ground. Then he tells her the car will be at the kerb any night she leaves after ten, that the desk logs it, and that she can refuse it every time.
She takes it.
Twelve households take the money. When the top-floor flat falls vacant, he offers it to her openly, at the same rent and on the same terms as the people she represents. Taking it costs her the file, and the trust of the woman she answers to, with the hearing eleven days away.
But she has been watching across their table, and she knows which figures make two of them glance at the third. Three men who can empty a building with a letter are about to lose something real to her. What she will not give back is being kept.
Perfect for fans of K.A. Knight and Ana Huang.
