Ivory Tower is a campus crime thriller about Margolis Santos, a charismatic film professor in her prime, who risks her career and life to uncover sexual abuse and corruption inside her university's football program where rich boosters pay sorority girls to have sex with star recruits.
When we find Margolis, she's embroiled in a sex scandal of her own that sends her life into a tailspin. She unthinkingly sleeps with a student from another school, but when the parents find out, they threaten to sue her University. To protect its reputation, the conniving university president, Art 'Lightning' Lane, takes revenge on Margolis and has her fired.
As she fights for her job, Margolis is unaware of the shady dealings going on at the Theta House, where her 16 year-old daughter, Brie, likes to hang out. Billionaire football donor, Chet Orchard, is orchestrating there a new recruiting scheme where Theta sisters 'date' potential players with the implication of sexual favors. The girls do it for all kinds of reasons-money, power, the illicit thrill-but Orchard has to blackmail the crackerjack Emma Barnes into joining by threatening to throw her father in jail.
In the trial-by-fire of her own scandal, Margolis learns what really matters-her family and fighting for justice-so she decides to make a film about sexual assault on campus. That's when she slowly discovers the horrifying truth about what's going on inside the football program and the Theta house. She has to stop it. The trouble is, her husband, Frank Sinoro, is the head football coach and her daughter loves the sorority, so Margolis has to find a way to save her family, while also saving the women on campus and, eventually, her own soul.

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete
