A possessive, slightly forbidden, steamy age gap romance with a wine-stealing virgin

Phillipa
I screwed up, following a loser guy to New Zealand with my last few dollars. In my defense, he did have a cute accent. So I have to get creative to find the supplies for my friends’ message in a bottle project. Including breaking into a wine cellar. Until the loser’s gorgeous uncle appears out of nowhere and says he’s keeping me? I can’t stay – even though he’s incredibly tempting…

I had no intention of getting married, or even falling in love. None. Until I saw a pixie of a girl swilling the expensive wine put in storage at my birth for my wedding night. I told her I was keeping her but she ran back to the States in a panic. Then I read the confession she meant to send out to sea and I’m prepared to keep chasing her around the world. Reluctant pride doesn’t stand a chance against fate.
