_One rule: Don’t fall for your professor._
Elara Voss is on scholarship. One wrong step and she’s back to nothing.
Professor Julian Kent is untouchable. Brilliant, cold, and hiding a scandal that could ruin him.
So when he calls her essay “too perfect to be true” and drags her into his office in front of everyone, it should’ve ended there.
It doesn’t.
Office hours turn into late nights. Criticism turns into obsession.
Red pen turns into fingers that linger too long.
And the man who’s supposed to grade her starts tasting like punishment.
Julian: _“Convince me you wrote this, Ms. Voss.”_
Elara: _“Convince me you don’t wish I hadn’t.”_
They’re playing a dangerous game of intellect, power, and desire.
In a university where one rumor ends careers.
In a city that never stops watching.
And they’re both losing control.
