Fresh
Women
By: Jodi Lipper
Blurb
When Cate arrives
at Barnard College, the prestigious women’s school in Manhattan, she’s
trusting, innocent, and maybe a bit too naïve. But she’s determined to use
these four years to figure out who in the world she’s meant to be. At a school where she’s lectured not to
identify herself by her gender, Cate is shocked by her own attraction to her
very oppositely gendered professor. Alex is sexy and mysterious, having
survived a recent tragedy. In fact, his
presence on campus causes such a stir that soon Cate finds herself competing
for his attentions with both another professor and a girl who may be her best
friend or her worst enemy. But Cate and
Alex’s connection is undeniable. It proves
to be stronger than the rumors, backstabbing, and scandal that soon begin to
swirl. But first it must be tested…

Excerpt
After Thomas had
gone to bed and Alex sat down to do some work for the first time in days, Alex
opened up his First Year Seminar lesson plan and felt a little jolt of panic
but also excitement as he realized that he would see Cate in class the very
next day.
It would be the
first class since their night together and Alex was suddenly terrified. Would it be awkward? Would the other students be able to tell that
there was something going on? What if
Cate had already bragged to all of her girlfriends and he was about to lose his
job? She didn’t seem like the type of
girl who would do that, but what did he really know about her? Suddenly this seemed like a huge mistake.
Alex paced back and
forth in his study (one step in each direction) as he contemplated what to
do. Before long, the only solution
became completely obvious – he had to see her.
It was late, well after eleven, and she might be studying or asleep. He pictured her in her dorm room, on a bunk
bed, in the same white cotton thong she’d been wearing the other night, and he
quickly stopped caring whether or not he was disturbing her because he really needed to see her. He fired off a quick text: Come over if you’re up.
The doorbell rang a
half hour later. He was completely
pleased by his power to beckon her. Alex
had no interest in being with a woman who could ever say no to him. They grinned at each other dumbly for a
minute in the doorway; all Alex wanted was to touch her. “Did I wake you?” he asked as she entered the
apartment and he shut the door behind her.
“Oh, no, I was just
hanging out in a friend’s room.”
They looked at each
other again. Suddenly it seemed like
they had nothing to say to one another.
“Are you okay?” Alex asked, taking one step closer to her. She was so petite that he looked straight
down into her eyes. “You look uneasy.”
She looked up at
him and didn’t say anything at first, though she managed to communicate so much
with her eyes. Alex felt the weight of
her gaze on him; it was as if she was transferring all of her love and trust
onto him with that look. Finally, they
both spoke, interrupting the silence at the same time. In a small voice, almost a whisper, Cate
said, “I’m just nervous,” just as Alex said, “You can trust me.”
