Freya’s brother Tate ran up a gambling debt and disappeared. A knock on her door from Jackson Patera leads her to paying off his debt by being with Jackson for 2 months. Slowly as Jackson spends time with her, Freya comes out of her shell. OK ending, but I wanted more. A true proposal, an engagement…..a wedding.
She is a shy teacher, while he is a mobster’s son. Their connection? Her brother owes money and he needs to collect.
This is a short dark romance story with unexpected (to them) attraction between our main characters. The story is well written with well developed characters that have their own flaws and insecurities. I like the way the chemistry develops between the characters as our hero draws our heroine out of her shell. The brother is definitely a background character and rather an idiot, but I like our mains. I rather enjoyed the story and look forward to more from this author.

What’s a man to do when she keeps running away from him……………anything he needs to to get her
He has wanted her for a year but she won’t even look at him let alone talk with him. So what is a guy to do??? When the opportunity arises he will grab it for all it is worth and blackmail her into being his for 2 months……..his to do with what he wants, when he wants and how often he wants.
Freya Grace is a 23 year old, shy, soft spoken, kindergarten teacher in California. She loves her job and the children she teaches and works as much overtime as she can so she can pay off her student loans. She does not date as she does not want to “risk her life and her virginity”. There is just her and her brother, Tate, as their parents died 3 years ago.
Jackson Patera is a 35 year old son of a mafia king who works in that family business and is expected to take over the family when his father retires. His nephew, Rafe, is in Freya’s class and since he saw her the first week of school he was crushed on her something fierce. Over the last several months he has come to pick up Rafe a lot in order to try and engage Freya but she has always hidden from him.
But now an opportunity has arisen that allows Jackson to not only approach Freya but to also get her into his arms and bed. That is in the form of Tate racking up gambling debts to the tune of 20k and then him disappearing for several months. Freya is worried that Tate is dead never expecting what is about to knock on her door one Friday night after work to not be her Chinese food delivery. Instead she finds Jackson, looking all handsome and sexy, coming to collect on a debt but with an interesting payment plan proposal for her. If she gives herself to him for 2 months then he will cancel Tate’s debt fully. What is a girl to do but agree to the plan and then let Jackson know there may be a slight issue as she is a virgin. Let’s just say that this little piece of information seals the deal for Jackson so quickly and also her fate as he is not going to let her go at the end of the 2 months.
Paying His Debt by Darcy Dawes is an entertaining and very fun short read. It has all sorts of the best things that a good insta-love, or should that be insta-lust, story needs – good characters, interesting story-line, fun, witty, engaging, sexy and hot chemistry, a bit of drama and the “bad boy” to have a good heart but also willing to corrupt the shy virgin kindergarten teacher a bit.
