Understandable. Finding out that car actually belongs to someone else? A nightmare. Now, Maxine finds herself working for Reid to pay off the repairs.

He's not at all the kind of man she thought she wanted, but the more time she spends under his watchful eye, the harder it is to ignore the sparks between them or the heat simmering beneath his controlled exterior. With Reid as the reward, being naughty has never felt so nice. This book contains explicit scenes and is recommended for readers over the age of 18. less
