The Dane of My Existence - Jessica Martin - Bog

"A seriously type A lawyer spends the summer in her Shakespeare-obsessed hometown and goes toe to toe with a commercial developer threatening the town's history, in a hilarious rom-com from the author of For the Love of the Bard. Portia Barnes is the youngest Mergers & Acquisitions partner in her law firm's history, and she and her stilettos are poised to step into the role of her dreams-managing the firm's new Boston office. But first she's taking a summer sabbatical in her hometown of Bard's Rest, New Hampshire, and participating in the town's annual Shakespeare festival. Portia soon learns that something's rotten in Bard's Rest, though. Benjamin Dane, a hotshot commercial developer, is sniffing around the town's most iconic spot. To Portia's dismay, Ben proves as skilled as she is when it comes to outworking, outmaneuvering, and one-upping the competition. While she's never hesitated to wage war against hyper-successful alpha males, Portia is caught off guard by Ben's openness and lack of arrogance. As her own long-constructed walls start to come down whenever Ben is around, Portia begins to wonder if he might be more than an archnemesis. With her heart on the line and the future of the town hanging in the balance, Portia faces an impossible decision-Ben or Bard's?-unless she finds a way to broker the merger of her life, and ensures the curtain falls on a happy ending for everyone"--
