Sinopse

Six months at sea! Yes, reader, as I live, six months out of sight of land; cruising after the sperm whale beneath the scorching sun of the Line, and tossed on the billows of the wide-rolling Pacific—the sky above, the sea around, and nothing else! Weeks and weeks ago our fresh provisions were all exhausted. There is not a sweet potato left; not a single yam. Those glorious bunches of bananas which once decorated our stern and quarter-deck, have, alas, disappeared! and the delicious oranges which hung suspended from our tops and stays—they, too, are gone! Yes, they are all departed, and there is nothing left us but salt-horse and sea-biscuit.

    From USA Today best-selling author K. Webster comes a steamy new age-gap student-teacher forbidden romance! 
    He’s a grumpy teacher with a chip on his shoulder. She’s his much, much younger student who’s completely off-limits. 
    Love broke me when I was a teen. My dad not only slept with my girlfriend, but he knocked her up and made her my stepmom, too. It's been nearly two decades later, and I’m still not over it. How can I be when they’re a daily reminder of what was stolen from me? 
    Being a teacher isn’t necessarily my passion, but pissing my dad off is. He thinks teaching is beneath our family, and I love watching him squirm. 
    But the joke’s on me. 
    I’m completely obsessed with the quiet, beautiful girl in my class. Always staring at her perfect lips when no one’s looking. She’s so young—too young for me. But something about her is just so sad, and I can’t seem to stop thinking about her. 
    I want to comfort her. To hold her. To teach her filthy lessons while in the sanctity of my bedroom. 
    And yet, I can’t. Not only would I lose my job and bring humiliation down on the others in my family who don’t deserve the heat, but I’d be just like him. My father. A sicko chasing some girl he has no business going after. I refuse to let that happen. 
    Until I’m forced to protect her when no one else will. Everything changes, and I cross a line I’m not sure I can come back from. 
    It turns out, I’m exactly like my father. A selfish man hell-bent on ruining everyone’s lives over a teenage girl. 
    This is a complete stand-alone novel with a happily ever after. Characters are of legal age.

    She needs a fake fiancé and he needs a job. But neither count on falling for each other. 
    Nicole is in the will to inherit her grandpa’s farm. Problem is, her grandfather stipulated she has to be married—or at least engaged. 
    Derek feels like he’s a nobody, working a dead-end job as a ranch hand. When a beautiful girl steps out of a car while he’s mending fences in the middle of nowhere, and offers him the job of his dreams, how can he refuse? When she mentions something about him being her fake fiancé, he thinks she’s kidding. 
    By the time he discovers she’s serious, it’s too late—his need for a job, and his big heart, makes him stay on. But that same heart soon finds itself falling in love with her. 
    But will Nicole recognize her feelings for Derek in time that he has reason enough to stay--and fight for the farm together?
