He was the man with all the power, her professor, her punishment, her undoing. She was the girl who played with fire, and now she's burning for it. Reynes knew the rules: keep her head down, ace her grades, stay far away from Professor Thomas Hale. He was cold, unreadable, the kind of man who looked through people like they didn't matter. But when she pushes him too far in class, he doesn't give her detention, he gives her a choice. Step into his world. Or walk away and wonder forever. In the shadows of the university halls, behind locked doors and whispered threats, their twisted game begins. It's not just about punishment. It's about control. Obsession. Secrets. Every look is a dare. Every touch is a promise. And every sin pulls her deeper into the kind of danger she swore she'd never crave. But Thomas Hale doesn't just break rules. He rewrites them. And Reynes? She's about to become his favorite lesson.

Katherine's life was never meant to be a fairytale. But she never imagined it would turn into a nightmare either. Sold to the most feared mafia leader, forced into a marriage she never wanted, she becomes the unwilling bride of Sahil, ruthless, dominant, and dangerously obsessed. She despises him, his control, his dark gaze that sees right through her. She fights, she resists, but nothing prepares her for the way her body betrays her at his touch. He owns her now, body and soul, and no amount of hatred can mask the hunger clawing inside her. Sahil never wanted a wife, but from the moment he laid eyes on Katherine, she became his. She can fight, scream, and curse his name, but he will break her, ruin her, make her need him as much as he craves her. Because she was never meant to escape him. She was born to be his. Hate turns to obsession. Loathing turns to desperate, all-consuming desire. And soon, Katherine finds herself trapped in a dangerous game where love is just another form of possession. She was his bride. Now, she is his obsession. And he will never let her go.
