The Professor presses his palm against her flank, feeling the liquid
warmth of her blood, hotter than her skin. Hot, like the life force that he has
claimed... The power over life and death is the ultimate thrill.
Someone is murdering women on South Carolina's college campuses: three
women, three different schools. The Governor's order to State Law Enforcement
Agent Mick O'Shaughnessy is simple: make it stop. More political maneuvering
diverts Mick to nearby Douglass College. There, instead of another dead body,
he finds Meg Connelly, grad student and faculty advisor for the latest
victim.
Determined to finish her master's degree, Meg doesn't need anybody's
help - including her estranged family - to succeed. There's something
irresistible about Mick, but the last time she let someone get close to her,
she lost everything except her self-respect.
As the investigation heats up, so does their relationship. But Mick's
interest in Meg doesn't just endanger her heart--it puts her in the sights of
the killer.
Once he gets her alone, he can take all the time he needs...

I loved this book! I honestly did not want to put it
We meet Agent Mick O’Shaughnessy at the
beginning of the book when his is pulled in as part of a special task force to
solve murders that are affecting small town college campuses. Crimes that are
so horrific in type, but the killers unique calling card is the only thing that
all three victims have in common. Mick and the rest of his task force find
themselves working against the clock to stop the next murder from happening,
but the killer is getting is getting antsy.
Meg Connelly is our heroine, a strong woman who has had to face much
of the world alone. She finds herself placed in Agent O’Shaughnessy’s path after a drunken sorority member’s actions
get reported to the police. Sparks immediately begin to fly between the Agent and the Sorority Advisor,
Meg. Having already survived abandonment, Meg tries to resist Mick’s advances
until it is unavoidable
In the middle of the wonderful tension between Mick and Meg, our
murderer begins to get nervous as Mick and his task force start to form a
picture of who the killer might be. The Professor begins to make plans to move
as he feels the path leading to him, but he will not move without one more
kill, and this time it is personal against Mick.
Filled with enjoyable, down to earth characters, and one wonderfully
rotten villain who you cheerfully despise, I never felt as if one character
upstaged another. The secondary characters are woven into the fabric of the
story so fluidly, that I could not see the story’s evolution without them.
Cathy Perkins’ debut novel, The Professor, from Carolina Press,
is a fun, edgy, mystery, romantic must read. I promise you will become an
immediate fan and look forward to the next book by Ms. Perkins.
