The Dean's Desire

Scarlet Dawson, 19, is a survivor. Haunted by a past tragedy, she arrives at Cambridge University with a chip on her shoulder and a wall around her heart. All she wants is to bury herself in her studies and keep the world at arm's length.

Viviane Sinclair, 31, is a force. The newly appointed Dean of Cambridge, she's brilliant, sophisticated, and commands respect wherever she goes. She's built a life on control and ambition, leaving little room for anything outside the carefully constructed plan.

A chance encounter at a local café throws these two woman together, sparking an instant connection that's as undeniable as it is inappropriate. As their paths continue to cross within the hallowed halls of Cambridge, Scarlet and Viviane find themselves drawn into a forbidden dance of desire and danger. The twelve-year age gap only intensifies the risks they face.

But can their connection survive the scrutiny of the academic word, Scarlet's personal demons, and the devasting consequences of a love that could cost them everything?
