Student and Teacher Kathryn M Burke

Damon Whittier, a 20-year-old student at Wellington College in Charlottesville, Virginia, finds himself infatuated with a lovely young professor, Iris Farquhar. Incredibly, she responds to him when he professes his love. Of course, the couple must keep their relationship a secret, lest she be fired and he be expelled. Damon later gets his friend Brad Young involved in the relationship, while Iris farms Damon out to other lonely women of her acquaintance. Damon then falls for a fellow student, the young and naïve Nan Baker, and later with Nan's divorced mother Vera. This novel shows how the sharing of bodies and minds can result in an abundance of love and intertwined affection, so long as the unwelcome emotions of jealousy and exclusivity are kept at bay.
