Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 1 Penelope Hall had married her own student. Although the marriage had been going on for eight years so far, the passion between husband and wife was still there. Even tonight, her husband, Jacob Thornton, was extremely turned on by her. "We've been married for so long, Ms. Hall. Yet why are you still dressed so seductively just to seduce me?" Penelope's body was pinned against the glass. She wanted to tell Jacob that all she was wearing was a thin nightgown.

But the next thing she knew, her voice came out in broken moans. "You're the one being elated tonight." "Oh honey, I'm elated tonight because it's your birthday."
