Don’t Leave Me Breathless by A. Kelly

Summer Rideau, a beautiful but troubled young lawyer, is not one to fall in love and settle down. But the scars from her turbulent relationship with her father – a formidable lawyer himself – drive her to do the unthinkable: she marries one of his clients, a convicted criminal Bobby Swinburne whose twisted idea of love surprisingly fulfils her penchant for pain. As the violent marriage gets out of hand, she desperately escapes and falls into the arms of Joseph ‘Scipio’ Russo, a handsome, loving single father who has no idea what’s coming for him. When Summer’s past finally catches up with her, the fight of her life soon becomes the fight to keep the love of her life alive.
