The Estate Handbook

Nary has spent her life building an empire, protecting her family legacy, and keeping control of everything around her. But Blackwood Estate is becoming more burden than treasure, and she needs someone who can decide whether the magnificent property still has a future.

Gal is young, ambitious, intelligent, and completely unimpressed by Nary's wealth.

Hired to manage and restore the historic estate, Gal quickly discovers that Blackwood's biggest problems cannot be solved with money alone. Outdated rules, neglected gardens, financial pressures, and old family conflicts threaten the property's future. As he challenges Nary to see the estate differently, he also challenges her carefully protected way of living.

Their professional disagreements become playful competitions. Late-night conversations become personal. And soon, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore.

But falling for a man decades younger brings questions Nary never expected to face. Is Gal attracted to her—or to her fortune? Can their relationship survive family criticism and social expectations? And can Nary learn that loving someone means giving them freedom rather than trying to protect them with money?

When a serious legal and financial crisis threatens Blackwood Estate, Gal proves that his commitment is not about wealth. Together, they fight to save the property and create a future worthy of its history.

Then Gal gives Nary an unexpected proposal—and a little book containing their own rules for love.

In a world where age, wealth, and status seem determined to define them, Nary and Gal must decide what matters more: other people's opinions or the life they choose together.
