He's the older, quietly dominant man with a body made for sin and a mind that controls everything it touches. She's the brilliant, clumsy little girl with absolutely no self-control. Avery Carter lives by three very important rules: Help her dad run the mechanic shop. Keep her evil genius side a secret. And, when necessary... create a *little* chaos.It works. Mostly. Until her best friend Tilly shows up with a mission: revenge on her uncle - the big meanie who needs to be taken down a peg. Avery should've said no. She should've delivered a responsible, well-reasoned lecture about consequences and maturity. Instead... she was bored. So she said yes. Because really - what's the worst that could happen from a few harmless pranks on one older, harmless man? **News flash: never believe everything your best friend says.** He's not harmless. He's not clueless. And he hasn't just noticed her... He's been watching her for months. Waiting. Wanting. Planning. This wasn't revenge. It was a setup. Tilly didn't send her to prank her uncle - She sent her straight into his den... **...as a gift.** Now Avery has three very real problems: 1. Her best friend might not survive this betrayal. 2. The "harmless older man" is anything but - and he's *very* interested in teaching his naughty little girl exactly who she belongs to. 3. She might like him more than she should. Thankfully, Avery Carter has a particular skill set. Lock picking? Easy. Escaping? Also easy. Probably. ...As long as she gets out before he comes back. Because something tells her - If Daddy catches his bad little girl trying to run? She might not be leaving at all.
