She has him between a rock and a hard place, she just doesn't know it yet.
Corinne
I have one summer before grad school starts and exactly two goals: make money for tuition and get over my geology professor. Money is easy enough, especially bartending at a place like Mountain Ridge Resort. The other part… not so much.
For four years, I watched Dr. Napier teach, and whatever the class, I aced them all. Not an easy feat considering one glance from him is enough to turn me into a puddle.
But I can’t exactly skate through grad school. I need to focus, and to do that, I need to fall out of love with the professor who wouldn’t look at me twice unless I was holding handfuls of Tanzanite…

No woman could be more off-limits than Corinne, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting her with every cell in my body. My grad student smells like heaven, moves like a temptress, and when she smiles at me… well, let’s just say my situation is harder than igneous rock.
Pursuing her could destroy us both, but every minute I spend near her, it gets harder and harder to do the right thing.
A working holiday is exactly what I need to clear my head. So, when I get grant approval to study Mountain Ridge Lake, I go. Resisting Corinne in D.C. is impossible, but putting hundreds of miles between us should do the trick… right?
