The Professor's Favorite
She's the top student at an elite university-brilliant, disciplined, invisible.
He's the youngest professor on campus-charming, untouchable, dangerous.
One reckless night.
One secret that should've stayed buried.

Some lines should never be crossed. But what if he's the only one who ever truly saw her?
