Axel by Katie Dowe

Ellie Logan, once a celebrated lingerie model, now makes her mark as a journalist.

Her latest assignment?
A deep dive into the life of the handsomely arrogant Axel Lakeside, a self-made billionaire from the sleepy small town of River Glades.
But getting the scoop isn’t easy when Axel, burned by a past betrayal, gives her the cold shoulder.
Despite the frosty start, Ellie finds unexpected warmth in his tight-knit family—and gradually, from Axel himself.
As Ellie gets drawn deeper into the town’s charm and Axel’s life, their connection shifts from professional to personal.
But as they navigate their growing feelings amidst community ties and family crises, Ellie wonders if a city girl can truly find a home in Axel’s world…
Can romance bloom amidst a past shadowed by heartache?
And will Ellie’s heart be enough to convince Axel to trust in love again?
