My lips trembled, my fingers shook. The world's most dangerous man sat before me, eyeing me up and down as if he were deciding when to pounce.

He was never going to let me go, and he would have me at any costs. "Valentin's tattooed hands moved to unshackle my wrists and ankles from the metal chains that hung from the bed.

Astrella Vega never expected her first year at university to feel like free fall. Twenty-one, sharp-minded, and eager to study psychology, she wanted answers-about people, about control, about herself. But the moment she steps into Professor Valencia Martinez's lecture hall, those answers begin to twist into something far more dangerous. Valencia is brilliant. Commanding. Magnetic. And entirely off-limits. What starts as admiration soon becomes a volatile game of attraction and manipulation. Astrella is drawn in-intellectually, emotionally, physically-until she's no longer sure if she's the one learning or being studied. Power. Obsession. Boundaries crossed and lines blurred. Because some lessons don't end at the bell. And some scars stay hidden beneath skin.
