Feminist scholar Aamanee Haq is starting her first university teaching job, an opportunity that fills her with both giddiness and anxiety. But when prospective student Xavier Thorn, the handsome CEO of a booming tech company, requests a meeting, it’s pure hate…at first office hours.

Xavier has enrolled in her gender studies course in order to quell the criticism his company has been facing during a series of sexual harassment complaints and Aamanee is outraged at his arrogance and alpha male energy. For his part, Xavier finds Dr. Haq to be instantly irritating, with her careful observance of preferred pronouns and habit of launching into a social justice lecture no matter the situation. And yet, both of them can’t deny an overwhelming, undeniable attraction, one that confuses, distracts, and, of course, turns them on. The problem? Their chemistry goes against the campus sexual harassment and abuse policy, a policy that Aamanee herself helped draft. With her job in danger, can they keep it all together, or are they just going to burn it all down?

Sexy, smart, inclusive, and laugh-out-loud funny, Office Hours is the erotic romance novel that speaks to this very moment, for those of us navigating not just our own dating lives, but also the wider culture that seeks to define desire, even when it resists categorization.
