A faithful wife, a happy mother and a well-trained housewife - this is me before my husband lost me at cards. I didn’t argue, diligently packed my things and threw my boyfriend out of the house. Alex Rivers won that game. A man whose courtship goes beyond all bounds of decency. He doesn't care about refusals. And he sincerely believes that a woman can be conquered. Frightening to the point of trembling and driving him crazy with inappropriate touches, Rivers is ready to get his way by any means. He's a lawyer who doesn't lose, and he represents my ex-husband. Alex is confident that he will win the case and sets his own conditions. In order not to be left without an apartment and means of living, I must spend the night with him. And now I have to fight for myself and the life that I want, because I don’t care about his wishes. A sensual tale of tremulous tenderness, unprincipled stubbornness and love that should not have happened. Read the first book in the Love and Other Troubles series. Strictly 18+
