Having written off love and dating, she spends her days teaching high school on the Southside of Chicago and most nights performing spoken word at The Shrine. Her lackadaisical attitude towards school comes back to bite her when she finds herself with one final academic year to complete her master’s thesis. Lucky for Raina, her new thesis advisor, Luke Attah, instills order in even the most undisciplined students. But after their first class, Raina finds out the sexy professor is not as by-the-book as he seems.Luke Attah is an unbearably cocky and risk-averse British Ghanaian Professor of Poetics. According to the Dean of the English department, his career advancement depends on Raina’s successful defense of a thesis. He is initially defiant but agrees after it is clear there is no way around it. Luke is sure his charm and good looks will win his new pupil over, as it has countless others. What he does not count on is a drunken moment after one of Raina’s performances, making him Raina’s number one enemy. Despite Raina’s thinly veiled contempt, the usually cool Luke finds himself warmed up by his fiery advisee.Will Luke be able to secure Raina’s heart and keep his job? Can Raina trust Luke after she’s been so badly burned in the past by men that fall quickly for her and disappear? Love & Lyrics is a fun and steamy short read that will leave you wanting your own professor to bare all too less
