Lennox lived the kind of life that never allowed her to relinquish control. She felt responsible for her sister, for her mother, for their finances, for managing the family struggles and protecting all the people she held dear. Her life was a weight on her shoulders she could never escape. When her protectiveness lands her before a judge, causing her to lose her job, she realizes she might just have to do something she never thought she would.
Jaxon Smith never thought he would see Lennox again. He also never thought when he did, she wouldn't remember him. She looked through him, as though they didn't share that special night all those years ago, like he meant nothing. Realizing her life was slowly becoming a sinking ship, Jax did the one thing he knew how, spread his money around and made her an offer she couldn't refuse.
He doesn't really need a girlfriend, but paying her to be his is the only thing he can think of to keep her around long enough to get her to see that surrendering all her control to him is exactly what she needs.
