Old Habits: A Professor and Student Romance (Modern Spinsters #1)

Catherine Nicolet is a screw up. Ten years ago, she failed out of her academic scholarship, moved back in with her mother, and took an assembly line job at the local factory. After a few years of drowning her misery in booze and bad men, Cat decides to stop feeling sorry for herself and get her life back under control. But getting back on her feet isn’t easy, and old habits die hard – especially where men are concerned. Back in classes, Cat finds herself falling hard for the wrong man: her professor.

Dr. Jonathan Callaghan is a man of discipline. His entire life has been a carefully managed series of choices that helped him escape the poverty of his childhood. He devoted his career to the study of mathematics – predictable, quantifiable formulas. He treats his body to the same stern discipline. His life is safe, orderly. And then he meets Cat. She's beautiful, complex, fascinating -- and she's his student. John's no stranger to self-denial, but Cat challenges his self-control in a way no woman ever has.

As the pull between them becomes too much to deny, Cat's self-destructive habits crash into John's rigid self-discipline. Is what they have real? Can they trust their feelings, or do they need to ignore their unreliable hearts?

Old Habits is a story of recovery, growth, and the power of love
