Peaks of Color
Synopsis
In the mountain resort town of Strutt's Peak, the Riggs family is practically royalty — they built the outdoor-sports empire the whole town runs on. Everly Riggs is its vice president, used to running things and to being underestimated by the men around her. The last thing she needs is a cocky celebrity houseguest.
But that is what she gets when her brothers hire Jack Deacon — the biggest name in sports photography — to elevate the company's image, then botch the contract badly enough that Jack ends up living in Everly's pool house and turning up everywhere she works. His reputation precedes him; so does the spark between them. As a working arrangement slides into something neither planned, old family secrets surface and both their careers tilt off their axis.
The first book in the Riggs Family Romance, Peaks of Color is a small-town, forced-proximity contemporary romance — spicy, banter-driven, and set against ski slopes and family ambition.
