I'm looking for a book, a bit fifty shades like. I believe she's a teacher/ta/prof and on the way to work a mans driver accidentally bumps her in the street. He spills coffee all down her then sends an expensive shirt to her work even though he only got her name. They get together and she has half moon- fingernail scars on her neck and face. There from her mum and she would attack in the night, so as an adult she still sleeps with her foot on the floor. She still pays for her mums rent, I believe the mum has bipolar so she thinks she going to be like it? He sees the scars when they shower together and all her make-up is washed off. I think she's a redhead. Hopefully one of you can help? Its starting to annoy me now.

Break Me Slowly by Joya Ryan

Overview: Graduate student Katelyn Gunn is headed for her first day of assistant teaching when she is almost hit by a car. The nervous and inexperienced Kate is shocked to realize that it isn’t the near death experience that has her heart racing, but the sinfully sexy man behind the wheel. Adam Kinkade is ultra-wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and the most powerful distribution mogul in Chicago—he is also the first man who ignites emotions inside of her other than fear.

Adam is a man used to getting what he wants. And he wants Katelyn—naked and often. Willing to stop at nothing to possess her, he relentlessly peruses Kate only to discover that it is she who possesses him—completely.
Kate quickly realizes that Adam has secrets of his own, secrets dark enough to break the walls she keeps so firmly in place.

Passion turns to possession, and Adam’s controlling nature and seductive hands sparks a desire so strong, it destroys her own demons. But when desire turns to addiction, Kate fears that it will rage too hot, and shatter her sanity.
