Beyond Office Hours

Dr. Mara Rivers teaches power, persuasion, and the illusion of choice.

She knows how control works. She knows how language can make pressure look like consent. She knows exactly why a professor should never want the adult student sitting in the last row.

Bennett Shaw is not like the other students. Older. Watchful. Controlled. A former security consultant with access to rooms Mara did not know existed and a way of seeing her that feels both intimate and dangerous.

Their attraction should be the problem.

It is only the beginning.

When Mara's private life becomes evidence, her home no longer feels secure, and a powerful university system begins turning truth into liability, she has to decide who can be trusted: the institution protecting its secrets, the man who may have been sent to manipulate her, or herself.

As desire and danger blur, Mara discovers that some doors do not need to be forced open.

Some are designed to make you choose them.

Beyond Office Hours is a sexy psychological suspense novel about forbidden attraction, institutional secrets, surveillance, consent, and the terrifying question of who gets to control the story after the truth comes out.
