Invisibility has been Clara’s go-to survival skill since childhood. So she hides behind her thick glasses and heavy fringe, working as a teaching assistant at the exclusive Molton Prep, happy with her seven-year-old pupils and avoiding their posh parents. Her one secret indulgence? Watching the gorgeous but wildly intimidating Lord Rafe Sterling sweep into school to collect his son.
Her crush on him is ridiculous. Lord Sterling is way older than her, aristocratic, terrifying, and tipped to be one of the UK’s youngest judges. Even if she did stand a chance, a girl with a background like hers should avoid him at all costs.
Rafe can’t believe the school has the balls to tell him he can’t meet the Miss Clara who told his son his brain “works differently”. Nobody refuses a meeting with Lord Sterling. But when he bulldozes his way past the rules to confront her, he’s shocked by how much the shy, mousy woman affects him. She might be too scared to make eye contact, but when it comes to defending his son, she’s surprisingly fierce. And after he convinces her to work as his son’s tutor and she gradually stops flinching in his presence, his obsession with her only grows.
As a rule, he gets what he wants, and Rafe wants Clara very badly. But he should be careful what he wishes for, because Clara Morris is not who she says she is. In his arrogance, he pushes her away, not realising that her fear runs deeper than simple shyness, not seeing the danger she’s in until it’s too late…
LAW MAKER is an opposites-attract, billionaire, age-gap, single-dad contemporary romance, perfect for fans of intense, protective heroes and heroines overcoming trauma to find their happily-ever-after.

MY REVIEW
Clara's a teaching assistant at an exclusive prep school who hides behind her glasses and frumpy hair, knowing her secret means she cannot have a normal life. Then Lord Rafe Sterling storms his way into her life because she dares to tell his son Ozzie that his brain is wired differently. Except, she's not wrong, and she's the first one who's gotten through to Ozzie. Now he's demanded she tutor him, and what Rafe wants, Rafe gets. Somewhere along the line, though, she's started to see Rafe is more than just a bossy, grumpy lawyer. But what will he do when he finds out her horrible secret? She can only hope he'll forgive her.
Rafe took one look at the mousy teaching assistant who had constantly avoided meeting with him, and felt something he wasn't used to feeling. He's mad of course, that she'd been thwarting him, but more than that, he's fascinated. He wants Clara, but will he be the one to protect her or discard her when her secret is revealed? He's spent all this time bringing her into his life, watching her bond with his son, but will he revert to his old ways the first time he finds out something about her he doesn't like?
Whoa, I was not expecting the direction Law Maker took with Clara's character. And yet, it made me appreciate her even more. She may have seemed a shy wallflower at first glance, but that was just a disguise for her very strong mind and backbone. I love that she had an agenda, but one that was only to help people. She (and Ozzie) is the best part of this story. I have to admit I don't like Rafe that much, too domineering without the necessary softness that alphaholes need for me to love them. I do like how much he loves his son, though, and that he groveled enough to get Clara to forgive him. The rest of the story I really enjoy - Clara, Ozzie, Clara's secret and her character growth, and the surrounding family - Clara's brother and Rafe's sister. I can't wait for sister Poppy's story next, her sunshiney character is going to be great with Rafe's grumpy friend.
