[Becoming Jane 02] • Commencement

Jane Claremont is a little bit broken. She has a painful past that she's worked hard to forget. As a result, she spent the last few years of her life carefully hardening the armor that protects her heart. The last time she fell for someone, it almost destroyed her, and she resolved to never let that happen again. That is...until she met the Professor. Dr. Thomas Grayson is gorgeous, smart, charming, and dangerously sexy. Jane can't get enough of him, his words haunt her mind, his hands own her body. Her family is worried, they think she's losing her head, and that just might cost her, her heart. Even though she dismisses their concerns, she knows, deep down, they may be right. With graduation mere weeks away, she resolves to maintain a respectable distance from the Professor until then. But it's no use, their attraction is inexorable, and Jane finds herself falling deeper in thrall to the Professor's charms. This was supposed to be a fling, not a love affair. Every moment she spends with the Professor, she can feel her armor softening, and the desire to share more than just her body, is overwhelming. With every word, every look, every caress of his hand, she can sense the Professor feels the same. He's broken too, she can see it in his eyes, and on the marks he bears on his body. It scares her. It's irresistible. Warning: This book contains spoilers for Season Three of Downton Abbey, as well as unabashed geeking out over Doctor Who. Becoming Jane #2 Commencement is 40,000 words. It's the second book in the Becoming Jane series, and picks up directly after the first book. The series is intended for readers 18+, due to steamy sexual scenes and adult language.
