Tamed - "Thought You Were Stern.."

Aria Quin Vale never expected college to begin with a collision-literally. One moment she was running late, the next she was face to face with a woman who seemed untouchable, her presence sharp enough to leave a mark. Aria thought that would be the last time she saw her.

She was wrong.

Selene Virelle Ashford isn't just any professor. Cold, composed, and untouchably elegant, she carries her past like armor, a woman who has long since learned to distrust the idea of love. In her classroom, discipline is law, and she makes no exceptions.

But the longer Aria sits in that room, the more she feels the weight of Selene's gaze, the strange pull of someone she should not want to understand. Between family struggles, grief she still carries, and the reckless hope that life might give her something more, Aria finds herself standing on dangerous ground.

This is not a love story meant to be easy. It's a story about walls and the people reckless enough to climb them. About fire meeting ice, and the spark that refuses to go out.
