4. Forbidden Fingers by Amanda Boyd
Veronica Lopez is a 23-year-old living the typical college life while studying at Columbia University. With her Mexican heritage and gorgeous looks, she melts boys’ hearts, but all of her attention is dedicated to her education. She intends to earn her place and give back using her big brain and not her looks. The men around her are nothing but oversized boys, without serious thoughts yet toward their futures. Their pick up lines and cheesy attempts at romance do nothing for her, so singlehood is a constant in her world. That is until she is touring her father’s company and meets Mark Grier. Her father’s successful, gorgeous right hand is older than her, but there is something obvious between them from the first handshake.
