He thinks I'm a spoiled girl. I think he's a stubborn jerk-hole. We should hate each other. Instead I'm falling head over heels for this chiseled, hard-working carpenter that my rich family would disown me for mixing with. It all started because I broke some cabinets. In my defense I was distracted—my parents demanded I hurry along to some socialite party when all I wanted to do was stay home and binge Bridgerton. My dad thought he'd teach me a lesson by making me help Mr. Rude-But-Hot fix what I busted. Somehow, I don't think he predicted me getting all melty for a blue-collar stranger. But I did. I'm hooked. And when my family finds out, I'll lose everything. This is one mess not even my heart-throb's skilled hands can fix...

I flirted with the wrong guy... My father has always controlled my life. I tried to get back at him by hitting on the hot contractor working on my family's property. But it backfired. Got out of control. Now this hard working guy wearing blue jeans and a charming smirk won't stop driving me crazy. He's fierce, muscled, and determined. He's not scared of my family the way every other man has been in the past. It started as a game with strict rules. Now he's playing dirty... And I like it.

Mom said to play it safe, find a guy who can tie a tie and waltz if the music is right. Dad wants me to marry a clean-cut-nobody who will climb the corporate ladder. But Brand is the exact opposite of all of that. I met him when I rushed out the front door in my barely-there pajamas searching for my lost dog. He was bent over my dad's car engine, his muscular torso covered in grease that stained him like tattoo ink. He took one look at me and I knew I was in trouble. It got worse when I found out we'd be stuck together on a trip to the annual car show my father attends every year with his rich buddies. My whole life people have told me what I should want. One moment alone was all Brand needed to show me what HE wanted.Now I can't imagine myself with anyone else. When my family finds out I've fallen head over heels for their mechanic... It's going to be a HUGE problem.
