The Handbook Said Nothing About This

By Maisie Wilder

Evie Lake is thirty-two, broke, and one bad day away from losing her place in grad school. Her Hail Mary? A coveted TA position under the famously unflappable Professor Nathan Halstead-a man with perfect posture, precise handwriting, and absolutely no time for chaos.
Unfortunately for Nathan... Evie is chaos in lipstick.
She's charmingly disorganized, accidentally inappropriate, and totally sincere in her ambition to do better-which lasts exactly until the second she knocks his coffee off the desk on purpose.
What follows is a slow-burning, sharp-witted, and shockingly steamy journey into soft discipline, questionable life choices, and a series of "professional consequences" that start with a form... and end with Evie bent over his lap. Maybe something more?
This is a light BDSM rom-com for readers who love:
- Unhinged heroines with too much personality
- Stoic, secretly dominant academic love interests
- Smart banter, slow tension, and a late-book payoff that spanks
Yes, literally.
Perfect for fans of comedy (eroit-com, if you will) smutty decorum, belt-wielding professors, and hot mess redemption arcs.
Just remember: the handbook said nothing about this.
