LEIGHTON
My life will never be the same again.

My goal is to keep my head down and finish my degree with minimal distractions; it’s the only thing I have. But then he walks into the lecture hall and flips my world upside down. He’s nineteen years older, my professor, and I’ve never felt attraction like this before. Grant is everything I know I shouldn’t want, but the more I’m put in his proximity, the more I want to give in to the feeling. We're walking a dangerous line, a forbidden push and pull that I can’t help but want more of. Until he gives it to me. Until we break every single rule.

GRANT
I shouldn’t have done it, but the damage is done.

The temptation with the honey-blonde hair and relentless blue eyes that lure me into madness. She’s my student, but I want her. She’s too young for me, but I can’t deny how much I long for her. Fully. Wholly. Without the consequences hanging over our heads. But we have too much going against us. It could never work.

Leighton breaks me wide open, unlocks all the desires deep inside that I thought were long gone. She’s my reason and my damnation. I can’t stay away from her, no matter how hard I try. So, I’ll keep living on borrowed time until there’s nothing left. Because I want her, even if we end up burning the line.
