    I took the leap and got a job at the school in Piersville as an art teacher and made an offer on the pretty little house that I’d seen online. What I never expected to find when I arrived was my sister catching her husband cheating on her, and then getting arrested for no reason by the Sheriff, Dave Bell. I was a sucker for tattoos, I was also a sucker for a tall man built like a wall.  And apparently I was a sucker for a guy with a badge and a big… truck. Call me old-fashioned, but being arrested, interrogated, and tortured (well, maybe not quite) wasn’t exactly romance, but everyone makes mistakes so I gave him a second chance. Until I found out the huge secret he was hiding – well, more to the point who he was related to. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you’re a twat. Fool me three times, no chance!  “DB” The people in the town I worked in were relatively easygoing, well aside from the Townsends. That family was a law unto themselves.Tabitha Newton, the new art teacher, breezed into town and into my life at the same time. I’d been called out to check on a house with a suspicious car in the drive by a concerned neighbor and had stumbled across the new woman sprawled across the living room floor. One accidental arrest, a trip to the station, and a friendly ‘getting to know you’ interrogation later, and I asked her out before she could find out who my stepsister was. It was stupid, of course she’d find out, but something about the woman had intrigued me so much that common sense hadn’t even come into it. There’s a way around that though because there’s a way around everything. If that fails, I’ll just arrest her again – because I can.

     What I didn’t expect was her—the timid teacher standing at the side of the room. I do everything possible to get her attention, but she seems insistent on looking anywhere but at me. She doesn’t realise she’s playing games with the wrong man because once I have my sights set on something, I don’t stop until it’s mine. And my sights are firmly set on Miss Walsh. She will be mine.

Fueled by an obsessive desire for revenge, he lures her into his life with the firm intention of destroying her. To Max, she is nothing more but a pawn in a meticulously-calculated plan. And yet, in spite of his hatred for everything that Denora James stands for, he finds himself growing inexplicably closer to the fiercely independent woman.But as Max falls in love with her, will Denora ever find out that their relationship started off on lies? And what happens when she discovers that she’s carrying his child?

    It wasn’t supposed to be this way,I wasn’t supposed to fall for her. But one look at those toned legs, And I am thinking how they would lock themselves so perfectly around my waist. How her dirty-talking mouth was created for pure pleasure. I never thought there could be more to her than s*x appeal.Then I notice honesty under that attitude,Vulnerability under that feistiness,And I'm determined to uncover the real woman under the diva. Bridget Meyers – I am determined to protect you,From yourself and from your past. But there’s just one thing I can’t protect you from: MeAnd I won't let that be a show stopper.
