    About this ebook

    Will his secret drive her away?

    On the verge of graduating from the University of Colorado with a degree in Biology, Danielle Gerome loses her parents in a tragic accident. The last thing she expects is help from the art professor she’s admired from afar since she started college.

    One semester with Danielle in his art history class and Shane Bancroft is sunk. Four years later, he still can’t stop thinking about her, but with tenure on the line, he doesn’t dare do anything about it. Glad she’s graduating soon, he can’t resist helping her when he sees her crying in the campus library one night and is soon tempted to pursue a relationship with her.

    Will Danielle help Shane appreciate what’s really important, or will his secret drive her away?

    Author

    Robyn Rychards

    Robyn Rychards grew up in the granola bowl of the United States, Boulder Colorado, a town filled with fruits, flakes and nuts. She considers herself a Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none and has taught herself to sew, paint, play the piano, garden, cook, the list goes on. But now that her books are published, she's thrilled to finally be considered a master of one. At least as much as a person can be, for the learning never really stops. She feels her active imagination is a blessing and a curse, with the blessing far outweighing the curse, since it has led her to fulfil her dream of writing romance stories for Harlequin. Robyn started writing stories when she was a teenager because she didn't have enough books to read, and sometimes finds it hard to believe that people are willing to pay her to do something she enjoys so much. Then there's the added bonus of having a good reason to put off cooking and cleaning, much less a job that means you can stay in your jammies as long as you want. That's priceless.   To find out more, visit Robyn on her website. You can also follow Robyn on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

      To my parents. If it wasn’t for their love story, I wouldn’t be here.

      Chapter One

      Professor Shane Bancroft looked at his watch. Closing time. He should head home. Except… His eyes strayed to her for the millionth time that night. Danielle Gerome. She’d been in his class all of one semester almost four years ago and he still remembered her name. It was not a good thing. For him at any rate.

      She sat with her chin resting on her fist, her long dark hair falling around her like a cloak, while she wrote in her notebook. Though he suspected it was more along the lines of doodling because after watching her all evening, he didn’t think she was up to much more. Had she heard the announcement it was time to leave? She was making no move to do it. If he was smart, he’d get out of the campus library before he did something stupid. But she was obviously upset and he couldn’t leave her there alone. He’d hoped all evening that someone would show up to keep her company, take her mind off her troubles, whatever they may be, but no one had said as much as a hello. Now, here it was, midnight. Bad things happened to college girls out alone late at night. If something happened to her, he couldn’t live with himself.

      He collected up his papers and other paraphernalia, put it all in his brown leather messenger bag and stood up, then picked up the bag off the table and draped it across his chest. He shoved his hands in his pockets and didn’t move. Maybe if he took his time, she’d head out before him and he could follow, make sure she got to her car okay. Taking his attraction to her out of the mix, he knew something wasn’t right in her world. Most likely something along the lines of breaking up with her boyfriend. In which case, she probably didn’t want anything to do with men at the moment. Regardless of who they were.

      So much for logic. He walked over to her and years of self-denial was shot to hell.

      Ms. Gerome, I don’t mean to intrude, but are you alright?

      He was right about the doodling and she didn’t lift her head to look at him.

      Thanks for asking. I’m fine. Just trying to get some work done. If you don’t mind.

      The sound of her voice made his muscles tighten. Deeper than the average woman’s, with a trace of a French accent. It was the first time he’d heard it and it made him think of sex. Hot, steamy, all night sex. He would’ve been better off never knowing that and he cursed himself for coming over to her instead of silently
