Surrender

When 28-year-old Honey Lake arrives at a secluded luxury island for an exclusive entrepreneur retreat, she's focused on securing funding to turn her struggling beauty brand into an empire. But money like that doesn't come easy-until she crosses paths with 41-year-old Legend Waters, a dangerously wealthy, tattooed boss who always gets what he wants. He sees something he likes in the ambitious beauty and makes her an offer-for the rest of the weekend, she belongs to him. No rules. No limits. All she has to do is surrender her mind, body, and soul to him. In return, he'll write a check big enough to change her life. It's an indecent proposal; Honey should refuse. But with temptation staring at her in the form of inked skin, commanding hands, and a voice that makes her legs weak, walking away isn't an option.

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…
