Sophisticated Seductions

"The man is sin, wrapped in work boots and a blue collar." Blake I finally had my baby girl back home, but she came with a little baggage in the shape of her best friend. I could deal with that for some more time with my daughter. The only problem is Bay's not exactly what I'd expected. I'd been through hell and back with my ex, but even that didn't compare to the turmoil that girl causes me. My stomach aches every time she's in the room with me, and we're drawn like magnets, but she can never be anything to me. Bay is young, vibrant, beautiful, and totally off-limits. My daughter's best friend has finally injected some color back into my dull life, and I can't seem to give her up. Bay It was financial desperation that had me moving in with Georgia's Dad. She and I had been friends since we were kids, but with her parents long divorced, I'd never met the man. Now, with my boxes unpacked and my backpack ready to start college, I was settling down into a room across the hall from her and her dad. The man is sin, wrapped in work boots and a blue collar, and I can't help but capture him in the frame of my camera. It was blaspheme to let such perfection go to waste when it could be encapsulated in film forever. But then he became more than a subject-he became my muse. Right or not, accepted or not, I had to have him. And nobody could stop me. Nobody but him.

Mia I've been trying to get that TA job ever since my senior year at college. I'm in the last semester of my Master's degree and finally got the job. The only problem is our new professor is a sexy, middle-aged, brilliant writer and an even better teacher. He runs the English department, and now he's my boss, my professor, and the center of every last one of my fantasies. There's no way I should want him this much, but it's those dang glasses, and that smile, and that little dimple in his chin. I was swooning the moment I met Professor Harlo, but the moment he opened his mouth, I fell in love. Owen This is the last thing I wanted. I'm fresh off a divorce, and with two kids and two demanding careers, I don't have the time or energy for this. Except, this girl sticks inside my brain like ABC gum, and I can't shake her. It doesn't help that we're crammed in my office grading papers several days a week for hours at a time. The whole innocent thing she has going on kept me away, but she's a writer, too, and I made the mistake of reading her half-finished romance book. Unfortunately for me, the things I love about this girl are her mind and spirit, and those are the two things I can't say no to.
