Publisher Description
Her entire life, Ardath has wanted to do one thing: save people in a way no one managed to save her mother. After growing up without any real family, she wants to spare others from the same fate. She's come up with a brilliant plan to save even more lives, if only she can fund it.
Albert Devonshire the fourth—whose friends call him Ace—founded a successful gaming company that he loved running. . .until his dad got sick. When he takes over management of the family-owned chain of hospitals, he discovers his dad's been struggling with dementia for a while. The business is in shambles, and he may not be the one to save it, but there's no one else.
When a young, beautiful doctor asks for funding to launch a program she's clearly passionate about, he hates turning her down, but he has no choice. Their medical group is exactly one do-gooder program away from Chapter Eleven.
Ardath doesn't take his refusal very well, and the more time Ace spends around Ardath, the more he hates being her enemy. He can't let the family empire collapse over a stupid crush though, can he? Will Ardath and Ace be able to make peace, or will their duties to their families set them irrevocably at odds?

Story really resonated with me
This story from BE Baker really hit home for me on a few levels. As always, this is a beautifully written closed door romance love story, and is part of the Scarsdale Foster series. One of the things that spoke to me was about Ace’s father and his dementia. I read this book while caring for my dad, who has advanced dementia and I found the way Baker portrayed Ace’s father to be very accurate to the earlier stages. I also experienced a “love” like Ardath thought she knew in the beginning of the book, but found the one who truly sought after my heart. I felt the characters to be realistic with hopes and fears, dreams and struggles. Sure, it’s a love story so we know it will turn out well in the end, but the journey was a great ride!
