Billionaire vs. The Easter Egg Lady

Twenty-five-year-old Ivy is the third generation to run The Golden Hare, a century-old Easter egg shop in Cherry Town, and the hand-painted eggs she makes are the pride of every spring festival. Not this year. This year the Morgans send over a new sign: MORGAN'S GOLDEN HARE.The day the sign goes up, Ezra Holliday — the cold-eyed heir of the family taking it — arrives to deliver the notice. In the chaos his forearm is cut open. Three steps away, Ivy's skin is untouched. The same spot on her arm hurts so badly she can barely stay on her feet.Only then does she understand her grandmother's dying words: "Two people fated to each other will feel each other's pain."The bond carries pain and nothing else. She nicks her finger — he doubles over screaming on a live press stage. She bangs her shin on a stair — he groans from the floor below. And the ring-shaped scar on his forearm lines up exactly with a ring-shaped mark worn into her grandmother's leather notebook. Following that mark, she picks open the lining and finds half a contract sewn shut for sixty-six years. One clause decides everything: should an Ayers and a Holliday marry, the name Golden Hare belongs to the Morgans.There is only one way to kill that clause — the two families have to actually become one.So the one who proposes is her.The whole town calls her a thief who stole the name. She has half an old contract, one failing shop, and one wedding to prove them wrong — and to settle a sixty-six-year-old debt out loud, in front of everyone.
