So when Sophie Miller gets under his skin, he has to do whatever it takes to push her away. Even if it means losing the part of himself he never thought he’d find.

But she owes ten grand to the wrong people and ends up with a husband and guilty conscience. Teague must choose between the future he’s planned for, or the one with Risa that he can’t turn away from.

Maybe Emile isn’t unsuitable after all, but how can Theresa let herself love him when she signed a contract to let him go?
