Turnaround Farm is a kindle unlimited title available at https://wingsepress.com/turnaround-farm/

Blurb:
If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Excerpt: Chapter One
Last week
Hostility returned to Dan’s face in a rush. “Turnaround Farm isn’t for sale.”

Holly turned to Dan and calmly said, “Dan, I was talking to your grandfather.”

Dan’s jaw tightened. “I thought that...”

“Dan, hang on a minute,” Jeb interrupted. “Are you still taking Tommy Price’s horse to the show week after next?”

“Yes, but...”

Jeb raised a hand to silence Dan. “In a minute; Miss Grant, if you want me to look at your proposal I will, but only on one condition.”


This Week: We pick up where we left off. Holly speaks first.

“And that is?”

 “You accompany Dan to the horse show as his date. There’ll be several social events he should attend, and I want you to go with him.”

 Dan’s face turned several interesting shades of red. “No. I absolutely will not do it. If I want a date, I can get one myself. I don’t need my grandfather to do it for me.”

 Holly’s eyebrows shot straight up when Jeb refused to back off. “If you refuse, I’ll look at her proposal right now, and after working in the cold all day, it might look pretty good.”

    Well this is a bit ham handed on his part, to say the least. Could backfire in some spectacular ways too. Interesting plot twist, a surprising snippet today that will surely keep readers coming back to find out what happens next...!

    I would think she'd have some objections too.

    That's quite a condition. I'm curious to see where it goes.
