The family tutor's hidden fangs

Nathaniel Cross, the only son of a prominent family in the capital, appeared polished to perfection, yet beneath the surface lurked an almost obsessive need for control. Assigned to tutor Vivienne Hawke, the cherished daughter of a family friend, he soon came to regard the young woman as his forbidden territory. Vivienne Hawke was strikingly beautiful but fiercely stubborn, and she already had a gentle, attentive boyfriend at her side. The more she resisted, the more perilous Nathaniel Cross’s relentless push became. After a deliberately provoked confrontation, Vivienne Hawke collapsed unconscious right before Nathaniel Cross’s eyes, dragging every hidden struggle into the cramped confines of the infirmary.
