the Riad at End of Season

The Blackwood Legacy SeriesBook 1: The Escondido ClauseBook 2: The Medina After MidnightBook 3: The Riad at the Edge of SeasonEach novel can be enjoyed as a standalone romance, but readers will enjoy following the continuing lives and loves of the Blackwood family.Daphne Ferraro and Leo Blackwood have survived board rooms, leaked photographs, and the particular violence of two people learning to need each other. Their riad in the Marrakech medina - behind its ten-foot studded doors, jasmine climbing every courtyard wall - is the first place either of them has chosen, rather than inherited or conquered. Then a single painting changes everything. Hidden in the walls of a crumbling Southern California estate Daphne quietly acquired, a canvas surfaces that Leo has spent three years searching for: the last work his late mother begged him to find. The inheritance condition attached to it is written in the language that Daphne's own lawyers drafted. She didn't know. She tells herself she couldn't have known. Leo isn't sure he believes her. Now, a community college professor with a grudge, a rival developer who has circled Daphne for a decade, and the Ferraro Group's most dangerous contract clause are all pulling at the same thread - and the raid that finally felt like home is starting to feel like evidence. They built their love on honesty, stone, and a fountain that never goes quiet. But what do you do when the person who holds your history is also the person who stands to profit from it? Some things can't be restored. They can only be decided.
