[Empire State of Mind 02] • Last Resort

Emma has forty-five-million dollars burning a hole in her handbag.

And just as many reasons to flee New York City.

She had everything:

A billionaire husband

Respect in the art world

And impeccable style.

Now the only exhibit she can curate is in a Staten Island sports bar. Plus, while wearing an outfit even a dumpster would reject, she bumps into the one person she hoped she’d never meet: the woman who ruined her marriage.

Humiliated and single, Emma escapes to the Catskills, ready for an epic round of retail therapy. The scenery is gorgeous. Especially Matthias, the manager of the town’s tattered resort. But the welcome he shows Emma is icier than winter in the mountains.

When she invests in the resort, the battle for the small town’s soul heats up, as do her feelings for Matthias. But it will take more than money to curate a town, and the price may be too steep even for her deep pockets.
