My poison is the past. My antidote is her. By day, Caspar Williams is a cold, brilliant literature professor who keeps everyone at a distance. By night, he's the anonymous best-selling author whose words change lives-including hers. No one knows his secret. And he intends to keep it that way. Lily Graham is a pre-med student fighting to stay on the path chosen for her-one that doesn't include literature, or Caspar, no matter how much she aches for both. But when she's forced to take his class, and later ends up working in his home, their carefully constructed worlds begin to unravel. What begins as tension turns into fascination. What should have been wrong starts to feel like the only thing that's ever been right. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And some truths are more dangerous than lies. He's her favorite author. She just doesn't know it yet.

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble." I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker. I get nervous around him. I don't know what this feeling is but this feeling is different. A feeling that I have never felt for anyone. "Understood?" he said again. I nodded. "Yes Mr. Parker." ***************** Liam Parker, 25 year old billionaire. Arrogant, handsome, ruthless, the only thing matters to him is his son and his work.
