Starts with You : A Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Novella (Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaires) Kindle Edition

by Claudia Burgoa (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 189 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes from a small town, friends-to-lovers romance.

I’m not sure how I ended up in Heartwood Lake.

One minute, I’m trying to help a friend, and the next, I’m being shipped off to a small town.

And the only person to blame for my predicament is Callahan Thorndale.

It was my mistake for letting my guard down.

Confession time: I have a soft spot for Cal.
A debonair FBI agent who also happens to be a billionaire.
He’s kind, intelligent, and always there when you need him.

He’s also my best friend.

How could I not help him?
How could I not fall?

But, in my line of work, I can’t trust anyone.
I shouldn’t get attached.
I shouldn’t let anyone into my heart.

Now, I have to find a way out of Heartwood Lake with my heart still intact.

Starts with You is a novella. The prequel to the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series - an emotional rollercoaster that combines the intense drama of Succession and the hilarity of Schitt's Creek. A must-read.

    Wow! This prequel STARTS WITH YOU is another amazing work by Claudia Burgoa! Claudia Burgoa is the queen of family sagas! What a teaser this is! Starts with You is Callahan (Cal) Thorndale and Lake Sophia Zimmerman Hawkins’ story, and if this is any indication to what their story will be, it definitely sets the tone for a mystery, suspense, family drama, and lots of tension that I definitely can’t wait to read! This short story will grab your attention from the start. This is going to be a hot, intense, and volatile story. I was captivated from start to finish—giving you just enough to draw your attention in for the upcoming books. But believe me, this will be one awesome series! If you read any of Claudia Burgoa’s books, you know she is giving you just enough intrigue, salaciousness, and engrossing love stories and interesting plots. I can’t wait to read more about Cal and Lake. Start the story—it is Free on Amazon and other retailers.

    Read A place like you first, and read this after.
    This is such a short story but gives you the background of the situation ready for the next book.

    I seriously can wait for the full Cal story, absolutely enjoyed reading this and get a different side to him, then book 1. Can’t wait for Book 2 and also what ever book Cal will be. ✨😱❤️

    4.0 out of 5 stars A promising new series
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 May 2023

    A new small-town romance series from Claudia Burgoa equals one very happy me! Starts with You is a very quick read, basically just a taste of Heartwood Lake to introduce the series. We meet several characters, some crossing over from other series and some new characters to meet and fall for. Front and center are Callahan and Lake. We only get a hot minute with them, but it was enough that I'm anxiously waiting for the first novel in the series. These two have the potential to really mess with us (in all the best ways, of course). After reading this prequel, I'm betting that Claudia has loads of feels coming at us. So, if you like small-town romance series, I'd suggest grabbing this prequel to meet some of the characters of Heartwood Lake and get ready to dive into the first novel in the series.
