Jagger Reed has a secret that could
destroy lives…
And one life that could be destroyed is
his disabled brother’s. Jagger is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and
believes it’s a small price to pay to protect his family.
Rosalind McAllister is the newest
creative writing teacher at Arizona State Prison…
Rose is determined to prove herself to
her criminal students and not let them break her—like they did the last
teacher. But when she meets Jagger Reed, she immediately knows the line between
student and teacher could be easily blurred. Tall, intimidating, and way too
handsome to be incarcerated, she vows to keep him at a distance.
A creative writing assignment turns
into the discovery of Jagger’s innocence…
When Rose reads Jagger’s creative
writing piece, she’s both astounded and impressed. His written words call to
her, providing a window into his private world. But as the assignment
continues, she discovers facts about Jagger’s conviction that change
everything.
Determined to piece together clues that
leap out from the pages, she finds much more than an articulate prisoner.
How can she save a man who doesn't want
to be saved? And can she stop her heart from getting involved while…
Defending Jagger?
Beautiful. Was that even a word meant to describe a man? A criminal? Ever since he’d confidently strolled into my classroom, I’d been searching for the right adjective. Catching indiscreet glances now that he was writing, painted a picture. Tall enough to be intimidating. Broad enough across the shoulders to provide protection. An intriguing face with both hard and soft lines. Clearly defined lips that seemed way too supple for their own good. An imperfect nose with a hint of a bump on the bridge that began where two of the most startling eyes I’d ever seen, sat.
They were neither blue nor green but somewhere in between, blended perfectly to create a unique masterpiece. Small black irises lent themselves to an abundance of arresting color that would take any artist great skill to replicate, should they care to paint his portrait.
Edgy and dangerous had no place in my world. And yet…the very masculine, gorgeous package I couldn’t keep my eyes off had certainly gained my attention. The words, ‘save him’ niggled at the edge of my psyche. While I wanted to save everyone, he stood out from the crowd. A low hum of desire flared up at the junction of my thighs, causing me to clench my legs. There was no way I was going to show my vulnerability and especially not my arousal. That would set off the whole classroom.
I am married and a mother of two
beautiful children, living in sunny Queensland, Australia. I’ve been reading
books ever since I can remember and love all things related to books. Writing
has become an extension of that and I hope to pursue a full time writing
career. I currently write part-time and work as a remedial massage therapist. I
love spending time with family and hope to one day travel to Italy and England.
