Collared by Professor Valentino

In a nervous voice, I stammered, "But class is about to begin." Damon's smirk showed his disregard for consequences as he provocatively suggested, "Well, time might be of the essence then." As Dahlia, a determined young woman, flees her wealthy family and takes matters into her own hands, she struggles to support herself and finance her education independently. Faced with rejection for a student loan due to her privileged background, she resorts to unconventional methods just to stay in school. This challenging journey leads her into an intricate bond with her professor, Damon Valentino. Despite knowing the ethical boundaries, Damon finds himself unable to resist Dahlia's allure after their initial encounter. This is Book Two in the Valentine Series, which can be enjoyed standalone without spoiling the first installment.
