The Artist's Provocateur - Serano Brothers, #3

"You want to get into trouble, darlin', all you gotta do is say when."High school art teacher, Marie O'Shea has never asked for much out of life.  She just wants to watch her students master their craft and flourish once they leave her classroom.  Getting a good night's sleep on a school night is essential to her role as an effective educator.  But when her obnoxious jerk of a neighbor, Adam, keeps her awake into the wee hours with one of his all-night sexual conquests on the eve of an important meeting, she loses her cool.
 She never meant to pique the interest of the most promiscuous of the Serano brothers, but after trading insults with him in the hallway connecting their apartments, it seems she can't shake him.  Not now that she has his attention. Adam Serano's good looks and devil-may-care attitude have women coming and going from his apartment like a revolving door.  What people think about him has never bothered him, so why Marie's low opinion of him gets under his skin, he can't say.
 He made a promise to himself a long time ago that he would never get more involved with a woman beyond the intimacy of one night.  Despite this, Marie's quick wit and immunity to his charm, has him craving her time and attention. When Adam inexplicably pops up, almost everywhere she goes, Marie's barriers against him start to wear thin.  Underneath Adam's flippant attitude is a man that Marie could very much fall for.
 But when a visitor from his past shows up after a nearly twenty-year absence, old wounds are opened, and she starts to doubt that Adam will ever be able to open himself up enough to let her love him.
