He was never part of my plan...

A room in an orphanage was my end of the deal when my mother chose her violent lover over me, twelve years ago. But in six weeks, I'll be eighteen and free forever!

Except, a certain stolen sweater in my backpack lands me at court. And look at that...my mother is back, too.

I want to keel over dead when the judge sentences me to France with her to work in some unknown family's vineyards. But the place holds another surprise for me. Julian.
The guy is as sweet as provocative, and I can do nothing to keep him out of my thick walls. Until I stumble upon his shattering secret.

Does it scare me?
Hell, yes.
Am I still falling in love with him?
Heaven, yes.

There's just one little problem. He's my dying mother's angel. Not mine...
