"I'm the girl with a restless mind and impatient legs... I want you to ruin me."
In a world where money means everything, Charlotte Lovelace is forced to forget her dreams of a Literature degree to go in search of a job to support her family. Adrian D'Arcy is a professor of the prestigious private university, Hawthorn, who is in need of a housemaid and nanny to his three-year-old daughter. The pay seems almost too good to be true but Lottie finds that there's more to her job than what meets the eye.
Descending into a world that she never thought possible, Lottie finds that the world of Austen, Hardy, Shakespeare and Bronte do little to prepare her for the darkly seductive man with a guarded past.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
