Cat escapes a bad Dom but needs another to fulfill her. Can Mason find it in himself to be the Dom to bring her to her knees?
St. Helena, with its charming streets and verdant hills, is the perfect place for Tulip House, a quaint new B&B. Just days away from opening her doors to weekenders who’ll come to enjoy the luscious vineyards, Catriona Fern Morrison knows that sometimes the most succulent delights take place behind closed doors. And sometimes those delights are deliciously wicked.
Having previously managed the prestigious Malibu Inn, Cat knows hospitality inside out. So when she inherited an old Napa Valley farmhouse, Cat seized the chance to break with her past—to start a new life away from family that doesn’t understand her, away from feeling shame about her private desires, and away from a powerful Dom who wants more of her than she can give.
Mason Steele can’t get St. Helena’s newest resident out of his mind. Two stints in Iraq before returning to take over his dad’s plumbing business has given him a tough can-do attitude toward work—and work he does, all the time. It’s almost enough to mask his loneliness. Meeting Cat while working on her farmhouse has made him want more. Everything about her is intriguing. Her springtime-fresh innocence that seems at odds with her sultry allure. Her quiet drive and strong work ethic that contrasts with a free-spirited enthusiasm for life. But Cat has secrets too and that are driving Mason crazy. Who’s the man from SoCal who has some kind of hold over her? Why did her thighs have bruises after he left? And what in the heck is going on inside the farm’s old wine house at night?
When disaster strikes the B&B and Cat’s past refuses to let go, she must decide what’s most important in life and who she wants in it.
And Mason is determined she make the right choice.
