Law Maker (Aristocrats of London Book 1)

About this book

Clara Morris lives her life in the shadows, using her thick glasses and heavy fringe as armor against the world. As a humble teaching assistant at an exclusive London prep school, she prefers to keep her head down, secretly pining for the most intimidating man she knows: the aristocratic and powerful Lord Rafe Sterling. For Clara, a woman with a guarded past, a man of Rafe’s stature is strictly off-limits. Rafe, however, is a man who thrives on control and never takes "no" for an answer. When he forces a confrontation with Clara over his son’s education, he expects a submissive teacher; instead, he finds a fierce, protective woman who challenges his arrogance. As he maneuvers to hire her as his son’s private tutor, her walls begin to crumble, and his initial curiosity quickly deepens into a possessive obsession. This gripping opposites-attract, age-gap romance explores the tension between a man who expects to command his world and a woman hiding from a dangerous reality. As Rafe pushes his way into Clara’s life, he fails to realize that her shyness is a survival mechanism, not a personality trait. With time running out, he must look past his own desires to uncover the dark secret threatening the woman he has come to crave.
