He was supposed to teach me the business.
Not ruin me for anyone else.
Working harvest season at my father’s vineyard was never part of the plan. I was supposed to be backpacking through Europe, making questionable decisions with people my own age.
Instead, I got Marcus Hale.
My father’s business partner.
My boss.
Older than me and completely off-limits.
Marcus is all sharp edges and self-control, the kind of man who gives orders without raising his voice and somehow gets everyone to obey. He’s spent years building Bennett & Hale Vineyards into a success. The last thing he needs is his partner’s reckless daughter turning his world upside down.
Too bad I’ve never been good at following rules.
The tension between us starts as stolen glances and dangerous warnings, but quickly turns into something hotter… messier… impossible to ignore. And the more Marcus tries to resist me, the more I want to make him lose control.
But in a town built on reputation, secrets don’t stay buried forever.
And if we cross the line, we could lose everything.
