Includes the entire four book series about Penny and Professor Hunter!
Temptation (Book 1)
Only once in my life have I lost my words at the sight of perfection – on a rainy autumn morning when I first met James Hunter. Or rather, when I literally ran into him. I had never seen anyone so handsome in my entire life. The stubble along his jaw line. The way he caught me in his strong arms. The way he stared at me so intently with his dark brown eyes that swirled with secrets.
I felt it in a rush. That I wanted him. That I needed him in my life. I’m not naïve. I could tell in two seconds that he was out of my league. And not just because it looked like he had stepped out of the pages of a magazine. Well, that and the fact that he’s my professor.
Trust me, I know I need to forget about him. But how could I possibly when every time I see him in class it feels like he’s daring me to cross the line?
I don’t know how much longer I can resist the temptation.
Addiction(Book 2)
I fell hard for my mysterious professor, but our scandalous affair went down in flames.
Now I can’t get my best friend's advice out of my mind - the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
I want to be able to move on. I need to be able to move on. But what if Professor Hunter has no intention of letting me do that?
Eruption (Book 3)
New York was supposed to be our fresh start. Our happily ever after. But James is hiding something from me.
Secrets from James' past, his scheming ex, and unsupportive parents make it hard to breathe in this city that barely feels like my home.
I thought I wanted to marry him. I thought he was the man of my dreams. I thought we'd be happy as soon as we got away from all the rumors. But now? I don't think I ever really knew Professor Hunter. And I can't walk down the aisle until I know the truth.
Devotion (Book 4)
One day before the wedding of my dreams, and I'm stuck in a city that is no longer my home. Alone. Heartbroken. Lost.
Could the past few years really mean so little to James? I'd do anything to protect him. He's my whole future. My whole life. I don't know if there's a me without him.
But there's only 24 hours until our wedding. There's no time to repair the damage. And even if we could, Isabella is still out there plotting. The world is still against us.
I was just a student. And he was my professor. We were never meant to be forever. I thought it was everlasting love, but it was doomed from the very start. Views: 700
