Contemporary Romance
When Chase Taylor’s grandmother passes away she inherits the exclusive home their family calls ‘the beach house’. Only there’s a catch. She has to live in it for six months with Reece Weston, a man she’d never met until the reading of the will.
Is he a scam artist? Or will love turn out to be the best inheritance of all?
Read an Excerpt
“Absolutely not! I will not go.”
After stabbing the off button with her finger, she slammed the phone down on the counter. Chase felt much better. Of course her brother would be choked. Chris thought he was the absolute word of authority in their family. Well, he isn’t. The phone rang.
Damn it. She peeked at the call display, but forgot that the display wasn’t working properly and the numbers were all fuzzy. I really need to get a new phone. Chase pushed the volume off button on the phone. She wasn’t going to be guilted in to anything today, least of all a family situation she wanted no part in.
Her family continually fought about something. Now they were in an uproar over who got what from Grandma’s will. Sometimes Chase couldn’t believe she came from the same family. She called them “The Beautiful People”. They were all gorgeous and selfish to the core. Maybe I’m adopted―otherwise how could I be so average compared to them? Although, truthfully, most of the time she was quite content to be unlike the rest of her family.
As soon as Chase turned the phone back on, it immediately rang again. This time she waited it out and picked up in time to hear the message as it was being left on voice mail. She listened to the caller’s voice and realized it wasn’t her brother as she’d expected. Not even close. Whoever this man was he had a nice deep, rich baritone. Very nice.
She hadn’t heard a word he’d said, but he was still talking so she quickly pressed the flash button to cut in on his message. “Hello? Hello, I’m here.”

Read the Reviews
“Inheritance is a lovely romantic tale of two likeable people who match up so evenly… Ms. Braden spins a delightful read that flows consistently and touches on family, love and the joy of having it all without having to depend on material assets. This is one story that really captivates.”
Linda, Romance at Heart Magazine
“A beautiful story of two people thrown together quite by chance. I loved the way the characters seem to be on the same page, yet not quite. There is a distance between them and though they face several trials together, love wins out. MG Braden has written an outstanding love story.”
4 Cups from Liadan, Coffee Time Romance
“I absolutely loved this story… Ms. Braden spins a tale in Inheritance, involving family members that are really true to life. I wish I could have jumped inside the book and strangled Chase’s mother and brother… She pens a great love story that I won’t forget.”
5 Angels from Linda L, Fallen Angel Reviews
“Ms. Braden took up the challenge of having her characters meet, get to know each other and fall in love within a short story. This is a difficult task and she handles the development of the relationship well… Chase and Reece had great chemistry and Braden’s love scenes were wonderful. This is a fun summer read.”
4 Hearts from Kara Lynn Russell, The Romance Studio
“This story was sweet, unique and fun. The pages sizzled with the chemistry of the characters, pulling the reader along for the ride… I enjoyed this story and thought MG Braden did another fantastic job of creating characters that were real, honest and exciting. This story will trap you within its grasp and have you laughing and loving with the characters. And, at times, reaching for something to cool down!”
Shauna, The Long and Short of It
