Olivia Blake doesn’t do distractions. She’s a top student at an elite university, focused, distant, and completely uninterested in relationships especially the kind her classmates obsess over. To her, emotions are messy, love is performative, and desire is something best left unread.But everything changes when a new professor walks into her life.Nick Reed is sharp, composed, and far too young to be standing at the front of a classroom with that much authority. At twenty-four, he’s barely out of grad school himself. Yet something about him commands the room and Olivia’s attention.He sees what others don’t.She hides what others can’t.And neither of them are prepared for the quiet storm that brews between them.What begins as harmless glances and academic tension quickly spirals into something else, something unspoken, forbidden, and impossible to ignore.But every rule has its limits.And after the bell rings… the real lessons begin.
