Tired of that dry, stuffy legal text on eminent domain law?
If so, you are in luck because author Tessa Berkley has the solution, her latest novel, “Eminent Domain” ($1.99 on Amazonfair market value). Here’s the synopsis:
When two brothers are sent to the opposite coasts, each man must decide between the dream of a lifetime, a chance to run the company, stepping out from their father’s shadow or living their own lives.
Asa Kingston journey to the Eastern Shore of Virginia is what he considers a fool’s errand. In an attempt to take over the company from his estranged brother, he is required to purchase the property known as Pinnacle Point. The owner, an elderly woman, should be easy to manipulate but he didn’t count on running in to her beautifully brilliant granddaughter, Mallory.
Pinnacle Point is the only home Mallory Bennett has ever known. When Asa Kingston comes to Bay View to wrangle a deal with her grandmother, she sets out to make him uncomfortable. Little does she know, her grandmother has her eyes on Mr. Kingston for other reasons. When sparks fly between them, Grandmother knows she’s right. But getting Asa to see the Eastern Shore for its true value will take all the skill her granddaughter possesses and more. Will greed win or will love save the day when it comes to right of Eminent Domain?
True value? Property rights on the Eastern Shore? Greed vs. love?
Count us in: take me.
