The B Word by Mindy Klasky

When opposites attract, fish out of water, and big city/small town legal shenanigans aren’t enough of a challenge—just add a pandemic!

Lawyer Emily Holcomb is up for partner just as she’s becoming a household name after her appearance on a blockbuster TV cooking show. Extroverted Emily only has to wrap up a mammoth real estate deal in tiny Black Duck, West Virginia, and her dream career will be secured.
But Liam Thomas is determined to see Emily fail. As the reluctant mayor of Black Duck, the calm, reserved mountain man has a town to protect from invading corporate interests.
Emily’s boss ratchets up the pressure, and she must tame her outgoing, emotional nature. At the same time, Liam must force himself out of his shell to protect all he loves. Soon, Emily and Liam’s attraction burns as hot as their arguments over the future of Black Duck.
Emily is comically out of place in Black Duck. Liam is equally at odds with life in Washington, DC. How can these star-crossed lovers remain true to themselves and the people who depend on them when they can’t even agree on what to eat for dinner?

If you fell hard for the feel-good rom-coms of Lucy Score, Pippa Grant, and Emily Henry, then settle in for a wild ride, because The B Word is the perfect romantic comedy escape for you.
