Violet
Carmichael knew her second year of college would be tough, but nothing could
have prepared her for what was about to happen…
Violet’s goal is
clear—to finish college and work alongside her father and uncle at their family
business—but she has one major problem. The dreaded Professor Torres, head of
the Architectural Department at Tulane, has a reputation as one of the toughest
teachers on campus. Violet has heard more than once that he can be a downright
jerk, but she’s determined to not let him get in her way.
He might be a
successful professor, but his personal life is nothing short of a mess…
Diego Torres has
the worst track record when it comes to women—which is why when he first lays
eyes on his new student, he assumes she’s like all the other superficial Barbie
dolls he’s always been attracted to. But it only takes a few encounters for him
to realize he couldn’t have been more wrong, and the more time he spends with
Violet, the more he desires her in a way no professor should desire a student.
Sometimes it’s
impossible to walk away, even when there’s so much at stake…
After
desperately trying avoid crossing that thin ethical line, Diego and Violet are
no longer able to deny the sexual tension between them and risk everything,
falling into an all-consuming, passionate relationship. But when outsiders
threaten to destroy it all, Diego has no choice but to make a life-altering
decision for himself and the woman he is forbidden to love.
As lines between
student and professor begin to blur, the consequences might end up destroying
them both…
A knock on my
office door has me looking up to find Violet standing there. "Come in and
please shut the door." She does and then sits down on the other side of my
desk. "Ms. Carmichael, I asked you to come meet me to discuss your design.
I’d like you to answer me honestly. Who helped you?" There was no reason
to beat around the bush.
"What do
you mean, who helped me? No one did." I see that familiar spark in her
eyes. "Do you really think I’d turn in something that I honestly didn’t do
by myself?"
"Well, Ms.
Carmichael, people will sometimes do anything to make themselves look
good."
Violet pushes
herself up until she’s standing and slaps her hands on my desk. "Are you
kidding me right now? I did that design all by myself. How dare you accuse me
of having someone help me? I’ll show you right now that I did it alone."
She grabs her laptop out of her bag and slaps it on my desk.
I watch in
stunned silence as she pulls up a program on her laptop and starts tapping away
on her keyboard. She stops and picks it up, coming around to my side, and I
watch as she works with a speed that seriously impresses me. It’s very obvious
that I’ve made a mistake here. Violet knows what she’s doing and is confident
in her work. Before I can stop myself, I reach out and place my hand on her arm
to stop her typing.
"Why’d you
stop me?" she asks as I stand up. We’re so close we’re almost touching.
This close to her, I can see the gold flecks in her eyes.
"I believe
you. I’m sorry I thought you had help. Yours was the best I’ve seen in a long
time." I warm inside when I watch a touch of pink bloom on her cheeks.
"You’re extremely gifted." I feel myself lean toward her and feel her
lean toward me. It’s like we’re two magnets, and the pull is intense. I’ve
never in my life felt this kind of pull toward someone. If I’m being honest, it
freaks me out just a little. Right now I’d give my left nut to be able to mark
her, to taste her.
My office phone
ringing breaks the spell, and we both lean back. Violet doesn’t say a word—she
just stares at me with those hypnotic eyes of hers. The phone stops ringing,
but I don’t care.
She finally
speaks. "Um…th-thank you for believing me. I should probably go."
Violet’s gone
before I can even stop her.
A Midwesterner and self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction, passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she means business and is in the zone.
