Nicola Cameron is sharing a snippet from her new release - Grading the Curve...
BLURB:
Ellen Ragsdale is a
scholarship student who just wants to get her college degree and start her
life. Alexander Cord is a widowed English professor who hides his loneliness
behind a sardonic facade. School rules have kept them at arm’s length all year
long. But on the last night of Ellen’s college career, the two of them risk
everything to find out if their mutual attraction is more than a classroom
crush.

BOOK TRAILER:
EXCERPT
“Did you know that
you always blush when you talk to me?” he said quietly. “It’s charming. You
look like a medieval maiden receiving her first suitor.”
It felt like
someone had painted fire across her skin. She ducked her head, staring dumbly
at the hallway’s scarred paint. He couldn’t know. Nobody knew that about her.
It wasn’t that obvious.
Was it?
“Interesting.” She
could hear the smile in his voice. “I meant it as a compliment, but perhaps I
struck closer to the truth than I’d intended.” He moved closer, and she could
feel the heat from his whole body now, warming her like an invisible caress.
“Are you?”
She swallowed
hard. He couldn’t be asking what she thought he was asking. “A-am I—”
“A maiden. A
virgin. I believe a popular term is ‘unicorn bait.’” His voice dropped, turning
into a soft rumble. “I have to admit, I’m puzzled as to how someone as lovely
and intelligent as you could still be virginal.”
Her entire face
now felt like it was on fire. She’d gone on the occasional date, usually
doubling with Keisha or Dianne, but once the guys found out what her schedule
was like they didn’t bother calling again. “Too busy, I guess. Working,
studying.”
To her surprise,
cool fingers slid under her chin, gently turning her face up. “What a shame,”
Cord said, his voice low and soft. “But if it’s of any consolation, men your
age do tend to be rather slapdash and impatient when it comes to women. I
assure you, you haven’t missed out on much by skipping the undergraduate sexual
circus.” The façade of the academic disappeared. Underneath was a man she didn’t
know, warm and standing so close to her. “That being said, I wonder … would you
be willing to consider me?”
“What—” Her throat
clicked, it was so dry. She swallowed and tried again. “What are you saying?”
He tilted his head
to the side. “I want to take you to bed, Miss Ragsdale. I want to kiss that
pink mouth of yours, undress you ever so slowly, play with those gorgeous
breasts and suck your nipples before I caress every inch of your body. I want
to bury my tongue between your legs and lap at your clit, and when you’re
dripping wet I want to bury my cock in you. I want to see that sweet mouth of
yours open and scream my name as I make you come over and over again.” Now she
could smell his cologne, something masculine, woody, and underneath that, the
musk of clean male. “Come home with me tonight, Miss Ragsdale. Let me make love
to you. I promise you, you won’t regret it.”
BIO
Nicola Cameron is
an expatriate Chicagoan who has lived in England, Canada, Holland, and Sweden,
and keeps a confusing amalgamation of languages in her head as a result.
Currently located in the clavicle of Texas, she has finally mastered the proper
use of "y'all," much to her Chicago family's dismay.
Despite a healthy
interest in sex since puberty, it wasn't until 2012 that Nicola decided to try
writing about it. As it turned out, the skills she picked up during her SF
writing career transferred rather nicely to erotic romance. When not writing,
she wrangles cats, smooches her husband, makes dolls of dubious and questionable
identity, and thanks almighty Cthulhu that she doesn’t have to work for a major
telecommunications company any more (because there’s BDSM, and then there’s
just plain torture...).
