The walls she’s built around her are so high that I doubt anyone can see the real Kate. But I can; I see it all. I know what makes my girl tick and what she truly wants from life. I was just waiting for a chance to prove it.And now that it’s here, I’m going all in to make Kate Violet Monroe fall in love with me.

Attending King University was at the top of my bucket list. Falling in love with my professor wasn’t. Earning a full scholarship to King University was my hard earned ticket out of hell.

A place where I could leave the old me behind and finally grow into the young man my family had desperately tried to hide away. Diving head first into new experiences, new friends, and parties, I didn’t expect to run straight into the one thing I wasn’t ready for. His arms are welcoming, his body is addictive and his lips are heaven. Cole Huxley is everything I could fall in love with, except for one problem... I never wanted to fall for my professor.
