About the book
Criminal lawyer Scott Tyler might want a red-hot affair with school teacher Anya Adams--but that doesn't mean he likes her. On the contrary, he's managed to get her suspended from her brand-new job! Realizing he's gone too far, Scott, 32, offers Anya temporary employment at his home. But having her around every day is playing havoc with his self-control. Soon all he can think about is making Anya a proposition--that she share his bed, night after night, to their mutual satisfaction.
