About this ebook

Royce Devereaux isn’t your average sexy professor. He has a lot of rules in his professional and personal life. He keeps both worlds separated. He has to. He’s somewhat of a public figure—and yes, he’s made enemies climbing to the top. Being a world-famous paleontology professor doesn’t mix well with his romantic life. He likes his sex rough, and a whole lot of naughty. Which means his students are 100% off limits.

One problem. His new graduate student assistant, Kenzie. She looks at him like a kid looks at birthday cake, and he doesn’t like it. Except, he does. He likes it too much. She’s feisty and smart—which only makes him want to tie her up and master her body. And her buttoned-up librarian look—it makes him want to strip her naked...slowly. He has to find a way to ignore her. It’s only one semester. Right?

But when an enemy decides to use Kenzie to force his hand, Royce has no choice but to keep her close. Very, very close. His two worlds have just collided. He just hopes he can let her go once the danger is over...

Ratings and reviews

This book is intended for mature audiences only due to the mild BDSM content. Although this book is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. MacKenzie is Dr. Royce Devereaux's teacher's assistant and one night while working alone in his office inputing grades; she is caught and manhandled by two goons who break in looking for Dr. Devereaux. She escapes and meets up with Dr. Devereaux at his BDSM club. Mac has always thought that there was something wrong with her because she wanted her sexual encounters to go a little differently and she has fantasized about Royce since shortly after working for him. Royce has in turn fantasized about all the lovely things that he would like to do to and with Little Mac, but neither one wants to mess up their roles at the university. The break-in and subsequent meeting at the Gilded Cuff will forever change the way their relationship continues and I encourage you to read the book and find out whether those changes are good, bad or both. I really enjoyed this book and I want to read the rest in the series.
