She came to Cambridge to study. He came to watch her.
Prudence Hale has never been noticed. Not in her small Ohio town, not by the boys who never asked her out, not by the parents too tired to see her brilliance. But when she steps into her first lecture at Cambridge, someone is already watching.
Lucian Langford is everything she's not-wealthy, unreadable, terrifyingly brilliant. He doesn't chase. He decides. And he's decided her.
As the shadows of Cambridge close in, Prudence finds herself caught in a quiet obsession that feels like fate. But Lucian doesn't want love. He wants possession.
And once he sees her, he doesn't look away.
A dark-academia romance about innocence, obsession, and the boy who never learned how to let go.
