Professor by Zoe Dawson

When Professor and his team is sent to support a mission in Niger with the UN, Professor has to deal with not only a new CO, but the aftermath of being in Afghanistan and dealing with a buddy’s wounding. That mission makes him realize he needs to reach out to his family, but his parents can’t seem to understand him or why he gave up so much to serve. Frustrated and struggling, he comes face to face with Julia Whittley. Intellectually, Professor knows that having the secret hots for a nun wasn’t going anywhere, so after a seeing her in Kenya, he had tried to put her out of his mind. That’s until he finds her at the US Embassy and is no longer a nun. This information throws Professor into a tailspin. He and Julia have unfinished business which is then compromised by the unrest in the country. It’s one man against all odds, who goes to any lengths to save a woman who has the courage and fortitude to match him in both strength and smarts.

Julia has never forgotten Professor and the way he lived with a purpose, along with his extraordinary leadership and his plain badass warrior vibe. But Julia has just left the order and she’s struggling with so much uncertainty in her life. Is it fair to get involved with a man who will demand everything she has, not only because he deserves it, but because he’s worth it? It isn’t until things escalate in a war-torn country that Julia comes face to face with her choices and the experiences that sent her fleeing to a convent. Finding her own personal happiness seems both reckless and just as dangerous as the country embroiled in war. When it comes down to survival, losing her heart to Professor happened a long time ago. But working out her own tangle of personal emotions and principles becomes all the more complicated until she finds the courage to be honest with herself. Hopefully, it won’t be too late.
