BLURB:
Griffin Stone isn’t known for his patience, but he manages to endure the three months until Avery Rose’s eighteenth birthday to pursue her. The hot teacher has a plan…
Step 1: Get close to Avery by replacing her set teacher.
Step 2: Make the gorgeous young actress fall for him—just like he’d done with her at first sight from across the studio lot.
Step 3: Teach her the most important lesson of all—that she belongs with him.
Warning: The sweet story might be short, but it has plenty of sexiness and an alpha male who will do whatever it takes to get his woman.
Please note: Star Pupil was previously published in the Hot For Teacher anthology.

Griffin Stone knows the minute he sets eyes on Avery Rose that he has to have her. Knowing that
she is a few months shy of 18 only puts his plan on hold, but certainly not indefinitely. From the day he sets his eyes on her on set of the movie she is a lead actress in (and his Teaching company has been contracted to provide education to all minors on set the required number of days), he knows exactly what he needs to do to make her his…only to bide his time.
Avery Rose is a naive teenager that loves education. Her mom pushes her into acting, not wanting her to pursue her education; and all she has in her life is her mom, so for now, she will listen to her. Until Griffin comes along. But how could someone so gorgeous, and 10 years older than her, have any interest in her? She’s only 18 and she probably doesn’t compare to the women he has or is dating! If only she knew…
Ms.Paige weaved a story in this one. I wanted for Griffin to do whatever in his power to win Avery over from the beginning. I love inst-connection/love and this novella set this up nicely. The angst kept me on my toes and the chemistry between them, and the way the scenes were so intricately detailed, kept me HOT! Again, Ms. Paige’s books never fail to deliver, and Star Pupil is no exception!

EXCERPT
Growing up in Hollywood, I’d seen plenty of beautiful women throughout my life. I’d even dated my fair share of them. But nothing could have prepared me for the effect Avery Rose had on me. She’d been discovered in a Midwestern shopping mall of all places, plucked out of obscurity to be cast in one of the leading roles of a teen action movie with a blockbuster budget.
Along with everyone else connected to the movie business, I’d heard about the young beauty who was being called the next up-and-coming starlet. I knew I’d bump into her at one point or another, Hollywood was like a small town in many ways, but I hadn’t bothered to listen to the gossip surrounding her since I knew most of it tended to be exaggerated bullshit. I also didn’t want it to color my impression of her since my company was going to be in charge of the education and welfare of all the minors in the movie while they were on set during filming.
Maybe if I’d paid more attention to the talk about Avery, I wouldn’t have reacted the way I had. The moment I spotted her across the studio’s lot, I froze in my tracks and stopped mid-sentence in the middle of a conversation. With her wavy dark hair, pale skin, wide blue eyes, and curvy figure, she was an intriguing combination of sensual innocence. I felt the punch of attraction from more than thirty feet away.
The timing was impossible. She was three months away from her eighteenth birthday—too fucking young for my twenty-seven years—but it didn’t stop my obsession from starting. I wanted her as my own, and I was damn well going to figure out a way to make it happen.
