When 26-year-old Laura Beaumont walks into Professor Tom Welling’s advanced literature seminar, the immediate attraction between them is undeniable. Having recently moved from Georgia to attend this prestigious university, Laura stands out completely—and Tom (36) is instantly captivated by her striking blue eyes, dark brown hair, and the sweet, irresistible Southern charm and accent she brought with her. Though Tom is a sophisticated, native local to the area and fiercely protective of his flawless professional ethics, her classic, feminine style completely throws him off balance. The stakes skyrocket when Laura’s father—a powerful university department chair—befriends Tom, welcoming him into their close family circle and bringing him to casual weekend dinners.
