Battle of the Exes by Ellie Hartwood

Ever make a complete fool of yourself in front of your ex while the sexiest man alive looks on in cringe-worthy amusement? Not my finest hour.

When my sister calls begging for help to save The Silver Quill, our family-owned bookstore, I hop a plane from New York and return to Silver Pine—the hometown I swore I’d never set foot in again. What I don’t expect? Running into the ex of all exes.
Beau Carter always knew how to show up at the worst possible moment.
For three blissful days, Beau and I were husband and wife. But that was a lifetime ago, before he became persona non grata.
Now, fate (or bad luck) has thrown us back together, and our reunion is anything but swoony. Turns out, Beau is the publicist in charge of the town’s literary festival, the one event standing between The Silver Quill and bankruptcy.
I’m determined to keep things professional, but Beau is maddeningly charming—and suspiciously too invested in the bookstore’s future. I know he’s up to something and I’m going to beat him at his own game.

Between heated banter and awkward run-ins, there’s a sizzling chemistry that’s harder to ignore with each passing day. Could it be that this isn’t the final chapter for us after all?
