Talk about gap years. Lennox Clarke took a few after high school-she had more pressing things to deal with, including an unplanned pregnancy. Now, with Ellery, her precocious five-year-old daughter, enrolled in preschool, Lennox finally has time to start her college career. She's looking forward to pursuing her nursing degree and expanding her circle of friends. New to Killdare University, visiting professor Dr. Booker Gannon is excited to share his love of literature with his students. Booker is looking forward to sharing his passion for the horror genre, specifically his love of vampires in his newest class. Lennox needs a literature credit, but she doesn't expect to like her class, much less the alluring Dr. Gannon. The last thing Booker expects is to be challenged by a cynical but cute nursing student. The last thing either of them needs is a forbidden romance, but the eroticism of the brooding vampire literary figure is a breeding ground for lust. Can Lennox and Booker resist the hypnotic pull of attraction? Or will real life drive a stake through their lust?
