They call me Dr. Stone, and yeah—I’ve heard all the jokes. I grade tests by day and dig up buried treasure by night. Literally. Archeologist. Tenured professor. Co-owner of one of the hottest bars on the South Carolina coast. I live for the thrill—underwater wrecks, jungle ruins, high-stakes discovery. The one rule I don’t break? Getting involved with students. Until her. She walked into my bar like she owned the place—red hair, curves for days, eyes that dared me to misbehave. We shared a drink, a dance, and a night I’ll never forget. I just didn’t expect to see her again. Especially not in my classroom… as my brand-new teaching assistant. She’s brilliant, beautiful, and completely off limits. She’s mature beyond her years, driven, sharper than I want to give her credit for—and she’s hiding something behind that fire in her eyes. We shouldn’t… but I’ve broken tougher rules than this. And for her? I’d do it all over again. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
