Here's the Thing

A professor with forbidden feelings. A student with a dangerous past. Nine years of wanting comes down to one reckless kiss.

Tally:
A month ago, Ashton, my best friend’s uncle and my professor, suddenly bows out as my thesis advisor. Now he’s here at my boyfriend’s hockey game, date in tow—and I’m a wreck.
My friends were right—these messy, intense feelings are all for Ash, not my boyfriend.
But I can’t want him. Even if he wasn’t my professor, he’s too old, and I have too many secrets.

Ashton:
A professor isn’t supposed to fall for his student just like a man isn’t supposed to fall for his niece’s best friend. But I’ve managed to do both.
When Tally accepts her boyfriend’s proposal in front of ten thousand cheering fans, I’m gutted. My chance is gone.
Or so I think.
Then I run into her at the restaurant after, and she’s near tears. So I walk her outside and hold her until she’s done crying.
My family calls me the Golden Boy. The Dupree who always does the right thing. But, when she lays her hand against my cheek and tells me I’m her person?
This Golden Boy is ready to fall from grace.

Perfect for fans who enjoy big emotions, crackling chemistry, steamy kisses, and a touch of suspense. Books in the Seddledowne Series are connected but can be read in any order.
