"Dr. Park..." I look back up at her. What a mistake. This girl looks like she would do anything I asked of her right now. Her lips are parted and her pale skin is flushed a glorious shade of pink. She is practically begging for it. This is the face of a woman who wants to be taken.

"Please see yourself out, Miss Benson." I pull my hand away from hers and try to adopt my normal, stony expression.

When literature professor Owen Park meets freshman Mila Benson, the attraction is immediate. She becomes the sole focus of his attention. Too bad she is dating his TA. A year goes by before he gets another chance to be alone with her. After a horrific encounter, he finds himself stepping out of the role of professor and into the role of protector. And if it turns out his feelings have been requited the whole time?

Nothing will keep them apart.
