Troubled by the Texan by Bree Verity

Desiree has never had it easy when it comes to love. Learning about betrayal at a young age from her father’s constant affairs, she hasn’t wanted any long-term relationships – she’s more of a get-in-and-get-out kind of girl. Until now.
Jack is handsome, charming and the father of one of her students. Desiree is drawn to him in ways she has never felt before, from their very first meeting.
Jack, an ex-pat Texan living in Western Australia, is still navigating the tricky road of single parenthood, but he’s ready to love again. But Desiree is nothing like the women he usually goes for. Should he throw caution to the wind and go for it?
Just as things start to heat up, secrets from the past will threaten to tear them apart, even as the most tragic of circumstances pushes them together.
Can two people who are so very different ever really fall in love?
