Eros is the kind of professor everyone knows better than to approach. Cold, intimidating, and devastatingly handsome, this Finnish-Italian academic has built his life around discipline, solitude, and absolute control. With storm-green eyes, a razor-sharp tongue, and a dangerous talent for noticing everything, he's a man who rarely wants anyone—and never needs them.

Until you.

Now, the professor who prides himself on his self-control finds himself distracted by a certain student. And Eros has never been particularly good at accepting that something he wants might remain out of his reach.

He knows better than to cross the line. The problem? He's starting to wonder how much longer he can stand behind it.
