Being near her is the sweetest form of torture.

I've known Perrin Corbett for years. I've wanted her nearly as long. It's a secret I've kept buried deep, knowing she'll never be mine. Her visits to my hometown are the sweetest form of torture. Seeing her, being near her, so close, yet never close enough. But for her, the place I love, where my siblings and I have built our business and our lives, is anything but home sweet home. Her favorite thing about it has always been seeing it in her rearview mirror.

Now, after years of staying away, she's back. Only this time she seems set to cut ties for good. It might be my one final chance to show her we could have something, and the what ifs are driving me crazy.

What if she knew there was more than just bad memories for her here? What if I didn't have to watch the only woman I've ever loved walk away again?

What if I gave her a reason to stay, even as someone, or something, seems hell-bent on convincing her to go?

Claiming Pixie is a steamy, slow burn, contemporary romance. It is book 3 in Kristyn DeMaster's Blueprint for Love series about the Barons, family by blood and by choice, building their dreams one at a time while discovering there's no blueprint for love. Claiming Pixie has no cheating, no cliffhanger, all the feels, and a guaranteed HEA. The story is told in dual POV and, while part of a series, can be fully enjoyed as a stand-alone.
