Undoing the Playboy: A Small Town Off Limits Enemies to Lovers Romance

By Isla Wilder

Some falls from grace involve actual falling.

Mine involved landing on a car hood, in front of the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.

Who clearly wanted to run me over.

Two days ago, my influencer ex blasted me and my family's billion-dollar winery empire all over social media-right before our biggest product launch in a decade.

My father's solution? Exile me to our original winery in the middle of nowhere. Keep my identity secret. Lay low until the scandal blows over.

Now I'm Lucas the new employee-not Lucas Fuller, heir to the company that started on this very property.

The problem? Mia Manning.

She's the winery manager who's been holding this place together while my family focused on profit margins. She's sharp, guarded, and has zero tolerance for rich boys who think money solves everything.

She's also the woman I had one unforgettable night with at the town bar-before she knew I was her new problem employee.

I should have told her the truth immediately.

But then I started learning what it actually takes to run a winery. Started seeing how much she's sacrificed. Started falling for the woman who values integrity over everything.

What I didn't know? She was left at the altar by a man who gave her nothing but lies. She's terrified of being hurt again. She's built walls so high, it's taken me weeks to earn even a fraction of her trust.

And I'm lying to her face every single day.

If she finds out who I really am, I won't just lose her-I'll become the second man who proved she was right to never trust anyone again.

If the public discovers where I'm hiding, my family's reputation and our product launch go up in flames.

But the longer I stay silent, the deeper I fall, and the more devastating the truth becomes.

The biggest scandal of all? I'm in love with a woman who needs honesty more than anything-and I'm the one person who can't give it to her.
