Lessons in Corruption by Deborah Garland
My professor by day. My husband by night.
I’m the good girl.
The quiet medical student determined to live up to my father’s legacy.
Or at least I was until everything fell apart.
After escaping a manipulative relationship that nearly destroyed me, I’m left rebuilding my life from scratch.
And needing a place to live.
That’s how I ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Where a stranger with darkness in his eyes gives me the best night of my life.
For once, I stop pretending I don’t crave danger, too.
To be bad. Just once. One night.
Until that ONE night walks into my classroom.
Dr. Cormac O’Rourke.
The school’s new pharmacology professor.
The infamous ex-pediatric surgeon with a criminal past is teaching the one class I need,
or I’ll fall even farther behind.
When he tries to force me out, I threaten him with the one thing powerful enough to make him back down:
My father.
His boss.
We call a truce. And keep our hands to ourselves.
But that falls apart spectacularly.
I just want to be bad.
He just needs a wife to put his life back in order.
The only woman he wants?
Is me.
Lessons in Corruption is the final book in the Astoria Royals Series. And takes place during The Quinlan Empire series, but it can be read and enjoyed as a complete STANDALONE.
