I tried to tell myself that I was done with love. I moved back to Portland, enrolled myself in grad school, and threw myself into being the best hall director I could be. And everything was going fine, really, until I got dragged along to an event to celebrate the beginning of the school year and I met him. Tall. Blonde. Shaped like a god.

And this handsome, grumpy professor? He wanted me.

But every day, he proves to me a little bit more that maybe it's okay to fall in love again.

You know what they say: having it all means you can lose it all. Or that was what I'd been telling myself for the last decade. And I can't go through that again, so I decided to protect my heart.

It's my second year teaching full time on campus, and that's when I meet her. Suddenly, everything else seems insignificant. Because I can't get her smile out of my mind, or the way she jokes with me. I want every smile she can give me, and so much more.

But is dreaming of a future with her the very thing that would cause my ultimate downfall? Maybe, but all I know is that I am going to soak up every moment I can with her before I lose her.

Academically Yours is a steamy adult romance featuring a grumpy/sunshine couple, a hot professor, a romance book-loving girl, and two characters who learn to love again through each other.
