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…
Excerpt:
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.
