title: The Iron Master
author: Ford, Rachel
description: Molten desire
  
  Like it or not--and she didn't--Carly was stuck with Nick Bradley as part of a local teacher-awareness program. The ill-tempered, roguish owner of the area's massive iron foundry made Carly long for the difficult fifteen-year-olds that normally tried her.
  
  Nick was deliberately issuing a challenge, whether it was sexual or merely business, and Carly was determined to meet it head-on. But that was before his kiss knocked the equilibrium out of her sheltered world and his relentless pursuit threatened to pull her down from the safety of her ivory tower.
  
  Hero: Nick Bradley
