THE MATCH Layla Hagen Release Date: May 30 Available in Kindle Unlimited The LeBlanc family business is famous in New Orleans and as CEO, I pride myself on protecting our legacy.

Benevolent contributions are important to us, so when I find a ranch on the Bayou that provides therapy with horses, I’m ready to put my money down — then I find out I’m not the only one. When I meet the ranch’s owners, Grace Deveraux is there which instantly pisses me off. —She says she’s interested in an investment. —I say, she’s only interested in boosting her socialite profile and clearing up her family name.
