The Heart's Lessons - Bill Skarsgard

Claire Adams wasn't supposed to fall for him.

Professor Skarsgård was off-limits. Her professor, older, untouchable. But that didn't stop the undeniable pull between them, the stolen glances, the late-night conversations laced with something neither wanted to name. Then, the kiss, the moment that changed everything.

But just as quickly as it began, he pushed her away.

Now, Claire is left with more questions than answers. Torn between the man she can't have and the best friend who refuses to let her break alone, she's trying to navigate the chaos of her heart. But Bill Skarsgård isn't just a professor, and Claire isn't just another student. The deeper she falls, the more secrets begin to unravel-secrets that tie her to him in ways she never could have imagined.

Her world was never as safe as she thought.

And the man she's fallen for?

He's been protecting her from the shadows all along.

With danger closing in and emotions spiraling out of control, Claire must decide: walk away before it's too late... or risk everything for the man who was never supposed to be hers.
