Dance for Me
New Adult
"Ransom strips off his clothes, dropping them on the floor where they join mine, and we are both standing naked before one another. His body is one that makes every muscle inside of me clench. One look and I burn for his touch". College student Josephine Hart keeps her late-night job as an exotic dancer a closely-guarded secret, but when her secrets show up in the light of day, she gets way more than she bargained for. After the tragic death of her parents, Josephine is just another college student trying to make ends meet. But at night, she leads a risky double life as an exotic dancer to earn the money she desperately needs—a secret that could ruin her if anyone at school ever found out. The only bright spot is the devastatingly handsome stranger at the club who takes a special interest in her. He has her twisted around his little finger, and Josephine falls hard and fast into a passionate but emotionally detached affair, never expecting to see him again outside of their dirty trysts. Except on the first day of the fall semester, Josephine walks into her classroom to find none other than Professor Ransom Scott—her mystery lover—standing at the head of the class. They both have too much to lose if their relationship gets exposed, but resisting their undeniable chemistry is impossible. As lines blur and the secrets stack up, Josephine and Ransom have to decide what matters most—self-preservation or giving in to the connection they thought was only temporary but now threatens to consume them both.
