The Professor's Gamble: BWWM Second Chance Romance
Avery Grey
I'm Dr. Simone Clarke, department chair at Whitmore University. At thirty-eight, I've built the career of my dreams through sheer brilliance and relentless determination. Published author. Award-winning teacher. Youngest department chair in university history.
I have control over my department, my career, my life.
Until Blake Morrison walks back through my door.
Seven years ago, Blake was everything. My soulmate. My future. The man who understood my mind as well as my body. Then he left me a coward's note and vanished to become a poker champion, blocking my calls and breaking my heart into pieces I'm still not sure I've fully reassembled.
Now he's back. As my subordinate. In my department. And he says he came back for me.
He wants forgiveness. He wants a second chance. He wants me.
But I'm not the heartbroken girl he left behind. I hold his career in my hands. If he thinks he can just walk back into my life and pick up where we left off, he's about to learn that the woman he abandoned is now the woman who decides his fate.
The only problem? My body hasn't gotten the memo that I'm supposed to hate him. And every time he looks at me with those blue-green eyes, every time he proves he's changed, every time he reminds me how good we were together—I feel my carefully constructed walls crumbling.
He says he's all in this time. He says he'll fight for us. He says he'll stay.
But the real question Am I brave enough to bet my heart on him again?
A scorching second-chance romance with a confident, successful heroine and the man who'll risk everything to win her back. Professional ethics violations optional. Guaranteed HEA.
