He's the one man she should never want. Which only makes her want him more.

Sloane Bennett has always been the good girl. The top student in her class and the one professor's love because she puts in the extra work. She came to Blackwood University to study hard and graduate the graduate program with honors.

Professor Adrian Cross is brilliant and a genius that also makes him infuriating at times. He commands a room with a single glance and keeps everyone at a distance. But the more he challenges her, the more determined she becomes to get under his skin. When he offers her the research assistant position on his prestigious research project, it throws them together for a lot of after hour meetings.

The closeness of the work on the project starts to break down the walls of distance between them. Looks between them start to linger too long. Small accidental touches ignite sparks.

Adrian knows getting involved with Sloane could cost him everything he's built. Sloane knows falling for him could destroy the future she's worked for. But when desire becomes impossible to deny, the question isn't whether they'll give in, it's how much they're willing to lose when they do.
