Cormac's Story I live by new rules. Stay clean. Stay focused. Stay in control. Then SHE walks into my classroom. Scarlett Ford. My student. The dean’s daughter. And the young woman I spent one incredible night with. Now she’s off-limits. Untouchable. A mistake I can’t afford to repeat. When her ex threatens to destroy her future, I offer her a solution. Marry me. It’s not romantic. It’s not gentle. And it’s not optional. She needs money for school. I need a wife. But the moment I put that ring on her finger, it stops being convenient. There’s nothing controlled about the way I want her. And once she’s back in my bed… There’s no going back. Author's Note- The MMC is a recovering addict. He does NOT relapse.
