Dr. Audrey Worthington has had remarkable success as a scholar, garnering several degrees and awards at an early age. However, her notable success in learning has been surpassed by her even more memorable failure at teaching. She seems to be completely unable to assign grades to her students’ efforts, and has been ignobly fired from three different teaching positions, each of them midyear. She knows that she is never going to find another teaching position again.Dr. Thornton Hamilton, ‘Rich’ to his friends, has his life exactly where he wants it to be. He is the head of the History Department at Wheatleigh College, following in his grandfather’s shoes. He and his best friend Marcus offer an exclusive spanking service to the general community and he has his psychological battle with the college president to keep his wits sharp. Yes, life is good, even though it is a little lonely from a romantic aspect and prospects are limited in the rather secluded location in northern New England.But Audrey and Rich suddenly have their worlds re-ordered when an anonymous benefactor offers Wheatleigh College an extremely generous donation if it will provide Audrey with a teaching position for a year, and a huge endowment if it keeps her on for five years. Simultaneously, a professor suddenly leaves the History Department, leaving a tailor-made teaching slot for her to step into. The college president, determined to have that endowment as the crowning achievement to his presidency, orders Rich to take Audrey in hand and make certain that she succeeds no matter what it takes.Audrey doesn’t like to be part of conflict and tends to be naturally submissive. But she has recently had a two year abusive relationship end and she is determined to never let herself be in that sort of situation again. How will she respond to the Dom who is her boss and has every intention of making her overcome her professional shortcomings?
