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.
