Twenty-three-year-old Psyvanah Zaliax Del Vinci is a mystery to most. A third-year Social Work student, she spends her time studying the fragile mechanics of human nature and playing music that can make a heart stop. She is content living a quiet, detached life-but her world is about to change.
They say the mind buries painful memories to protect us, but the hands never truly forget their muscle memory. Psyvanah can't remember her past, yet she carries an uncanny ability to read people's darkest vulnerabilities, moving through life like a ghost who leaves no trace.
Everything shifts on their first interactions. The girl who was her "first everything" in childhood walks into the classroom-not as a student, but as her new professor. She is cold, meticulous, and brilliant, the kind of authority figure everyone is terrified of triggering.
But a darker secret binds them: a hidden family contract means this woman is also the person Psyvanah is forced to marry.
Now, Psyvanah is haunted by a dangerous question:
"My mind doesn't recognize your face, so why does my pulse race with the urge to take your breath away at the sound of your name?"
Throughout the semester, Psyvanah must decide if she can handle a conventional life-or if she will succumb to her darkest instincts, falling obsessively in love all over again with the one person she was made to forget.
