What do you do when your mother tries to force you into marriage with a billionaire creep who’s old enough to be your father?

Well, I chose to run.

Straight into the arms of the billionaire vineyard owner my mother despises.

I only know Nate Harrington as an aloof acquaintance who sometimes attends the same high-society functions I’m required to show my face at. But when I’m in trouble, he’s the first person I think to help.

A middle of the night trip to his home has me spilling the whole story. And then I beg him to marry me instead.

Instead of agreeing, Nate offers protection and a place in his home. All I have to do is follow his rules.

Somewhere between over his knee and in his bed, I find myself falling for my sexy, down-to-earth personal protector, but that was never part of the agreement.

Too bad I’ve never been much of a rule follower…
