Office Hours After Dark

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A brilliant PhD student. A notoriously ruthless professor. A dynamic that crosses every line in the syllabus. Aiden Cho knows exactly what he signed up for when he moved across the country for his English PhD. Dr. Marcus Hale isn't just the leading scholar in Victorian literature—he's the department's most exacting terror, affectionately known as "Hale the Impaler." Aiden expects the brutal critiques and the blood-red ink bleeding across his essays. He doesn't expect the quiet, terrifying thrill of finally earning Hale's precise, devastating approval. Marcus has strict rules. Professional boundaries aren't just a guideline; they are his absolute survival mechanism. But there is something about Aiden's sharp mind, his hidden vulnerabilities, and his desperate need to be guided that unravels Marcus's renowned control. When Marcus discovers the true depths of his student's desires, the line between academic mentorship and absolute possession shatters. Seven weeks. That is how long they agree to wait before giving in to the agonizing tension between them. But in the shadowed, wood-paneled halls of Whitmore Hall, restraint is just another form of foreplay. Office Hours After Dark is a high-heat, standalone MM dark academia romance featuring age gap dynamics, intense praise, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
