Crave

She tried to steal his car. He offered her a job instead.

Jace Evans is a street-smart Los Angeles mechanic who trusts no one and steals cars on the side, saving for a fresh start far from California. When billionaire real estate developer Maxwell Erickson catches her breaking into his rare sports car, he doesn't call the police. He hands her his card and tells her to show up at nine sharp, ready to do whatever he requires.

Max is thirteen years older, impossible to read, and used to being obeyed. Jace hates his rules and likes pleasing him more than she'll admit, and after three days on the job the attraction wins. Then she finds a file in his dresser holding every secret from her past, and he confesses he's the one who hired her to steal his car. The man she's falling for owes his life to the father she hasn't spoken to in five years.

Max wants all of her and won't settle for half. To give him that, Jace has to sit across from the father she believes abandoned her and hear the truth, while keeping a secret of her own.

Crave is a complete standalone billionaire age gap romance with a dominant hero, a car thief heroine who fixes engines for a living, spicy open-door scenes with a safe word, a surprise pregnancy, and a guaranteed happily ever after. No cheating and no cliffhanger.
