Daddy’s Chaos Gremlin

He's the older, quietly dominant man with a body made for sin and a mind that controls everything it touches. She's the brilliant, clumsy little girl with absolutely no self-control.

Avery Carter lives by three very important rules:Help her dad run the mechanic shop.Keep her evil genius side a secret.And, when necessary... create a little chaos.

It works. Mostly.

Until her best friend Tilly shows up with a mission: revenge on her uncle - the big meanie who needs to be taken down a peg.Avery should've said no.She should've delivered a responsible, well-reasoned lecture about consequences and maturity.Instead... she was bored.So she said yes.Because really - what's the worst that could happen from a few harmless pranks on one older, harmless man?

News flash: never believe everything your best friend says.

He's not harmless.He's not clueless.And he hasn't just noticed her...He's been watching her for months.Waiting.Wanting.Planning.This wasn't revenge.It was a setup.Tilly didn't send her to prank her uncle -She sent her straight into his den...**...as a gift.**Now Avery has three very real problems:1. Her best friend might not survive this betrayal.2. The "harmless older man" is anything but - and he's very interested in teaching his naughty little girl exactly who she belongs to.3. She might like him more than she should.Thankfully, Avery Carter has a particular skill set.Lock picking? Easy.Escaping? Also easy.Probably.

...As long as she gets out before he comes back.Because something tells her -If Daddy catches his bad little girl trying to run?She might not be leaving at all.
