At nineteen, Arabella arrives at college expecting freedom, new adventures, and a fresh start-with her best friend by her side.
She never expects to fall for her psychology professor.
Professor Stone is intelligent, confident, and captivating, and what begins as admiration quickly becomes something much harder to ignore. Every conversation leaves Arabella questioning whether what she feels is simply fascination or something deeper.
As freshman year unfolds, Arabella finds herself caught between the life she imagined, the friendship she refuses to lose, and feelings she knows could have serious consequences.
Sometimes the person who changes your life is the one person you were never supposed to fall for.
