Synopsis
The Ultimate Anti-Hero Meets His Match…
Connor Dunkle knows what he wants in a woman, and it’s the three B’s. Beauty. Body. Boobs. Other women need not apply.

Ella Blake is a single mom and a professor at the local Verily college who’s climbed up the ranks the hard way.

Fuming at his chauvinistic tendencies, Ella teaches him the ultimate lesson by giving him a special project to help his grade. When sparks fly, neither of them are ready to face their true feelings, but will love teach them the ultimate lesson of all?

EXCERPT
“Professor Blake?
Can I talk to you a moment?”
She turned, and
right on cue, there he was. Ella hid her smile and wondered how the first round
would fare. She’d pegged him from
the first day, but sometimes a student surprised her.
“Yes, Mr.
Dunkle?” She peered over her thick-framed glasses. She could’ve picked trendy
or delicate frames, but she liked the way these intimidated her students. “What
can I do for you?”
His charming grin
could’ve
short-circuited the light bulbs or rendered one speechless. Had she ever seen
such perfect white teeth? The man was a walking delectable treat for the female
vision, but Ella had prepared. She checked in with her body and was quite
pleased. Other than a recognizable hum between her thighs, she was completely
in control. Of course, he didn’t know that. Ella judged there weren’t many offers
Connor made that were turned down. The reason was all six foot five inches that
towered over her desk with lean, cut muscles evident beneath his casual
clothes. Dirty blond hair lay messily over his brow. He wore it long, and the
thick strands curled around the edge of his ears. His face was sculpted quite
beautifully, from the high cheekbones, full lips, and perfect dimples. He
reminded her briefly of a young Robert Redford from her favorite movie, The Way We Were. Sure, Redford
was old now, but Ella believed the greats like Newman and Redford and Brando
paved the way for Pitt and Hemsworth. And damned if her fingers didn’t itch just once
to brush those gold streaked strands from his forehead.
His eyes
delivered the final one-two punch. Crystal blue swirled with a touch of green,
clear as glass and deep as the sea. Eyes like that could mesmerize prey, but Ella
had tons of practice restraining messy desires. She met his gaze, ignoring the
tiny tumble in her belly, and kept her gaze on the prize.
“Yes?” she asked
with a bit of impatience. He blinked, somewhat confused she hadn’t ducked her head
or stuttered. Oh, this one needed a reality check. Had he ever been rejected?
Or was he one of the lucky ones who slid through life unscathed by others? Huh.
Another similarity to Redford’s character. She was going to have to re-rent that movie again.
“I think there
was a misunderstanding,” he began. His body language reeked of open
friendliness with just a touch of sex. His navy blue T-shirt stretched tight
across his chest, and his jeans were worn low on his hips, which were now
cocked in a very appealing angle. He tilted his head to ensure intimacy, and
damned if his dimples hadn’t popped out. Oh, he was good.
