The Prince and the Professor

Written by Iris Forester

Narrated by Sharmila Devar

Adjunct biology professor and wetlands specialist Tierra is fiercely committed to her work. In her relatively limited romantic experience, she’s never seen dating as worth the trouble. Her heart is in the wetlands, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. As she’s in the field researching a rare species of newt in the Pacific Northwest threatened with extinction, however, her carefully constructed life begins to veer off course — in more ways than one.

First, she meets the mysterious and striking Andre in the field. Tierra is immediately fascinated by Andre, whose slight accent captivates her almost as much as his impressive knowledge of endangered species. But she also senses a danger in Andre, who Tierra suspects isn’t quite who he seems to be.

Then there was the phone call warning her to discontinue her research. Someone is trying to sabotage Tierra’s research — and the ecosystem she's working in — and it seems they’ll stop at nothing to get what they want. Could Andre be involved? Or could there be more to him than even in Tierra’s wildest dreams?

Tender, suspenseful, and heart-warming, The Prince and the Professor is a one-of-a-kind contemporary fairy tale romance

Reviews for The Prince and the Professor

[Marie Gibbs · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Only listened to whole story as heroin is autistic and felt that deserved something. Just too many coincidental windfalls through the story to make it identifiable, but the heroine's autistic frustrations felt close to home.

[judy griffin · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Weak character development.
