{"product_id":"the-montecito-rules","title":"The Montecito Rules","description":"In Montecito, rules are made to protect the powerful—and keep everyone else out.\n\nDaniela Castillo serves the champagne in Montecito. She's not supposed to drink it. And she's definitely not supposed to fall for the heir.\nFor five years, she's built her catering business one flawless event at a time—moving through California's coastal elite without ever being part of them. The rules are simple: smile, serve, and never forget where you stand.\nMatthew Butler has never had to learn those rules. Heir to a $420 million trust, he's spent years in New York trying to outrun his family's world. But when he returns home, he discovers his late father's unfinished project—and the woman already building it on her own.\nSame dream. Opposite worlds. And a pull neither of them can ignore.\nIn Montecito, that's not a love story. That's a liability.\nCatherine Flood has spent decades controlling the Butler fortune—and everyone attached to it. She didn't survive three generations of old money to lose it to a caterer with ambition and her nephew's attention. She won't make a scene. She'll just make sure Daniela's life gets very, very small.\nThe trust has conditions. And the clock is already running. Every step Daniela and Matthew take toward each other gives Catherine exactly what she needs to tear them apart.\nA slow-burn, forbidden romance about class, ambition, and what it costs to choose love in a world designed to keep people in their place.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GLQ8VCR3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GLQ8VCR3.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nelson, Jeff\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
