Crowne Rules: Close Proximity Standalone (Crowne Brothers Standalones)

Years ago we spent seven minutes in heaven, locked in a closet.

Now Dante Crowne and I are hidden away in his remote cottage. And he wants much more than seven minutes.

He wants everything.

***

All I needed was a place to hide from the paparazzi.

My best friend has just the place. No Internet. No phone.

A deep bathtub I'm soaking in when HE shows up.

My best friend's brother--broody, solitary Dante Crowne. Rich as a cardinal sin and handsome enough to send the devil into a rage. A man with a reputation for unforgettable bedroom games. And after those seven minutes in a closet, I can tell you they're all true.

His first instinct is to kick me out, but the memory of those seven minutes inspires him to make me an offer.

If I want to stay, I have to work. If I make a mistake, I'll be corrected with pink hand prints.

That's the deal.

I can beg for it or leave it.

I'm not sure which of us is more surprised when my knees hit the floor. Even more shocking? How much I like his punishment. But we can't stay in paradise forever. Los Angeles awaits. And when an old nemesis sets his sights on tearing us apart, Dante may be the one left begging.
