Star-Spangled Showdown: A Williamsville Inn Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798521411832)

Owen Gillespie has one week, one town, and one shot to prove himself to his family's fireworks empire. His plan: arrive early in Williamsville, get a feel for the celebration, and land the contract before the competition even knows what hit them.

Meeting Dom Mitchell in a rattling hotel elevator was not part of that plan.

Dom is forty, twice divorced, and finally letting himself explore what he actually wants. What he wants right now is a signed contract with Williamsville and maybe a little fun on the side. What he gets is a sharp-tongued, gorgeous ginger in a Mets hat who turns out to be his direct competition.

When the mayor discovers two rival fireworks salesmen have been spending their evenings together, she decides to make things interesting. Now Owen and Dom are competing in Fourth of July celebration games alongside the rest of the town and taking turns pitching their proposals to city officials. Between them runs a secret wager: whoever wins each game gets to call the shots for the night.

Only one of them can leave Williamsville with a signed contract. But some sparks, once lit, refuse to go out.
