Seduce

There's just something about Ava Moore, an achingly sweet compliance beneath the temper, that Gavin can't ignore... Except he soon realizes that it's not just her submission that he wants.
Secret Garden antique shop is Ava's dream, her job, and her social life all in one. The antique store, inherited from Aaf's beloved grandfather, has taken up all of her time and energy for the past six years. Dating or no dating, as far as Aaf is concerned, life is perfect. Or it would be, if she could make rent every month.

Enter Gavin Lachlan, the moody mystery who just might be the answer to Ava's problems. Gavin is a man with more secrets than options. He has a maddening wit and refuses to explain the seemingly constant stream of beautiful women slipping in and out of his rooms-what of it? Why else would he agree to rent out a tiny bedroom above a failing store from a fiery redhead who would sooner slap him than smile at him? But there's just something about Ava Moore, an achingly sweet compliance beneath the temper, that Gavin can't ignore... Except he soon realizes that it's not just her submission that he wants.
