He longed to kiss Charly's defiant mouth, to watch her eyes change color when surprise became desire, and to understand this beautiful, hot-tempered spitfire whose midd... more »le name was Trouble!Charly had to find a way to persuade J. D. to fund her school's program for difficult kids, but challenging him to share her life and watch her work let him get too close to resist. Charly tempted J. D. with playful seduction, taught him delicious games he'd forgotten, but when they dueled with wits and bodies, both had everything to win -- and something to lose. J. D. needed to convince his lovable, changeable hellion she deserved to be cherished, but fear and pride made a formidable wall. Could one slightly tarnished knight storm Charly's defenses and win her love?
