Darya Sidorchyk Kelly: Hope, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A sweet-hearted baker who writes romance. A cynical fitness mogul who thinks love is a waste of time. When their worlds collide, the heat in the gym is nothing compared to the friction between them. Veronika "Nikki" Diaz is a polished businesswoman who knows exactly how to handle her thriving Knoxville café. But when it comes to her secret passion, writing romance novels, she's ready to take a massive leap. To write her next book with absolute authenticity, she needs to experience the wild, unpredictable terrain of the rainforest, just like her great-grandparents did. There's just one glaring problem: Nikki is a city girl whose daily armor consists of pencil skirts, perfect mascara, and high heels. She has absolutely zero survival skills. Enter Adam White. Imposing, infuriatingly handsome, and completely unromantic, the fitness center owner is convinced Nikki won't last a week in his brutal, twelve-week wilderness training program. He expects her to fail. She's determined to prove him wrong. But as the grueling workouts push Nikki to her absolute limits, the cold disdain between them begins to shift into a dangerous, electrifying tension. From late-night rescues to a birthday celebration that blurs every professional line, Nikki finds herself fighting a battle she never prepared for. With a chaotic business to run, a persistent suitor from her past cornering her, and an injury that threatens to ruin everything, Nikki has to decide: Is she scaling this mountain just for a story... or is the ultimate adventure happening right in front of her? Fans of witty banter, slow-burn tension, and the classic "grumpy vs. sunshine" dynamic will devour this captivating contemporary romance about finding strength, embracing vulnerability, and discovering that real love is worth the risk.
