Clara Sutton is the kind of woman who keeps powerful men from falling apart—while slowly unraveling herself.
For three years she's been overworked, underpaid, and entirely indispensable to her billionaire boss, Spencer Ashwood. Managing his calendar, his deals, and his moods has become her full-time life. So when he sends her to a small town called Redmond Valley to convince a local builder to take on his latest high-end development, Clara sees her chance to finally prove she's more than a glorified assistant.
Bennett Reed is not what she expected.
He's gruff, broad-shouldered, and infuriatingly silent—the kind of man who measures twice, cuts once, and has zero interest in helping a flashy city developer ruin his hometown charm. A man who's sworn off love, content with sawdust, solitude, and the quiet certainty of a life built by his own hands.
But Clara has orders, and Bennett has a way of making even "no" sound like a dare.
Every meeting becomes a standoff, every argument burns hotter than it should. And the more time Clara spends in Redmond Valley, the harder it becomes to tell herself she's only there for work.
Because beneath Bennett's rough exterior is a man who makes her feel seen for the first time in years—and a town that feels more like home than the life she left behind.
But loyalty runs deep, and so do secrets. When the truth finally surfaces, Clara will have to choose between the career that defines her and the man who might just break her heart.
A small-town, slow-burn romance filled with tension, heartbreak, and heat—If He Had Her asks what happens when love builds where it was never meant to exist.
