He came to Italy to broker a deal. He never expected the most intense negotiations to happen in the bedroom.

Isabella is a Marchesa on the verge of losing it all. Her family's estate is crumbling, the bank is at the door, and her last hope is a desperation play: seduce a solution. Her target? Chance Beaumont, a brutally handsome Canadian diplomat with more money than sense.

Chance is all business, a man who speaks in the blunt language of torque and trade deficits. When he overhears Isabella's frantic plea for someone to "service the land," he takes her literally. He’s there to assess her terrain, and he’s going to get his hands dirty.

What starts as a strategic seduction quickly ignites into a raw, all-consuming inferno. Against sun-drenched stone walls and in dusty wine cellars, Chance proves his expertise with devastating, thorough precision. He doesn't just sample the soil—he claims it. Owns it.

Isabella’s plan was to get a check. But this man doesn’t deal in money. He deals in pleasure. And he’s determined to settle her trade deficit with the most intense, mind-blowing currency there is.

If you love oblivious himbo heroes, powerful women who take what they want, political satire, and sloppy, steamy encounters that will make you laugh and blush, then you’ll love the international exploits in the NOTCHES series.
