No, her biological clock isn’t ticking, but she’s desperate for unconditional love. Rejected by all except her brother and soon to be married off by her father for financial gain, she aches for someone to hold close and call hers.
Enter Ledger Thorne. Soccer god, devastatingly handsome and her brother’s rival.
Once upon a time they had a thing. A beautiful thing. But while Tempest thought she was madly in love, Ledger was only using her for petty revenge.
So Tempest has a plan: seduce the sexy jerk who broke her heart, use him to get pregnant and then leave him in the dust like he left her, to marry a stranger.
Only the problem with making babies is that it doesn’t feel like revenge. It feels a lot like that thing they used to have: Hot and stormy, and intense and intimate.
But Tempest isn’t a fool. She’ll stick to the plan.
Because wasn’t it Ledger who turned their beautiful thing into something ugly?
Now it’s her turn…
NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of Bardstown, a St. Mary’s Rebels spin-off.
