To Professor, With Love (Forbidden Men, #2) by Linda Kage

Junior in college. Star athlete. Constant attention from the opposite sex.

On this campus, I’m worshiped. While seven hundred miles away, back in my hometown, I’m still trailer park trash, child of the town tramp, and older sibling to three kids who are counting on me to keep my shit together so I can take them away from the same crappy life I grew up in.

These two opposing sides of myself never mix until one person gets a glimpse of the true me. I never expected to connect with anyone like this or want more beyond one night. This may be the real deal.

Problem is, Dr. Kavanagh’s my literature professor.

If I start anything with a teacher and we’re caught together, I might as well kiss my entire future goodbye, as well as my family’s, and especially Dr. Kavanagh’s. Except sometimes love is worth risking everything. Or at least, it damn well better be because I can only resist so much.

Teaser


With her huge shoulder pads and the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, I was tempted to tell her the eighties had called, wanting their blazer back.  It'd probably coax a derisive laugh from the class.  I'd maybe even get her to blush or some shit, which would sure as hell make me feel better for the way she'd humiliated me.  Tit for tat and all that.  But my jaw refused to unclench enough to form actual words.  (Kindle location 54)
Some pretty interesting dramatics going on between these two.  What do you think?  Have a teaser for me?  Leave me a comment.
