My professor. My secret. My almost.
I've spent my life playing it safe. The good girl. The rule follower. The one who always says no.
When I met Zane online, I thought he was just an older guy who made my pulse race with nothing more than his words on a screen.
What I didn't expect was for him to be my professor.
Now I can't stay away from him, and I don't want to.
He's everything I've ever craved.
Dominant. Damaged. Addictive.
I'd give him anything he asked for, even my heart, especially my heart.
But Zane is still shackled to a grief he won't let go of, haunted by a past he won't talk about, and when he starts to pull away, I'm left wondering if I'm strong enough to break down his walls.
