It was just supposed to be one night of no-strings-attached fun, but now Sofia Popov has become the center of former Navy SEAL Ian Campbell’s life. Sofia turns out to be the teacher of Ian’s teen son, Gavin—the same teacher who meets him in the hospital when Gavin suffers a seizure at school.
And he’s not the only teen who’s landed in the hospital. Ian is already formulating a plan to make those responsible pay when Sofia drops a bombshell: she’s pregnant.
