Heartbreaker

I've been quiet long enough.I'm nothing like my brothers. I've devoted my life to my work, and I don't care about God or family.

I live alone, and I like it that way. Soon, I'll have the job of my dreams far away from this place, and that's all that matters. Everything is going perfectly.

That is until Sadie Green walks into my class. She is brilliant and funny and infuriating, and she's ruining everything I have planned for my life. When she gets the news that she's pregnant, and the baby's father isn't going to help her, I step in.

She needs guidance, control, and discipline. Moving her into my house is a risk. If I'm caught living with my pregnant student, I will lose my job and everything I have planned.

But the first time she asks me to punish her, I know it won't be so easy to walk away-because I love it. Being with her would risk everything, but God help me, I can't seem to stop. Before long, I don't recognize the good teacher I used to be.
