One masked night. One forbidden touch. And a desire that refuses to die.

I was the mystery on stage.
Velvet lights. Swaying hips.
A hidden world no one was supposed to see.
He was a stranger in the shadows --
Dark eyes. Tight jaw.
Completely out of place... and completely mine for one stolen moment.

We burned in silence.
No names.
Just heat.
Then I disappeared, breathless and undone.

Now, I'm Trixie -- the quiet college artist with a double life.
And he's my professor.
All intellect, control, and smoldering restraint.
Until one reckless touch shatters it all.

We're breaking every rule.
I'm his student.
He's off-limits.
But this craving?
It's wildfire.

He says we're a mistake.
That we can't cross the line.
But the way he looks at me says otherwise.

Can love born in the dark survive the harsh light of truth?

A scorching age-gap, professor-student romance full of forbidden tension, aching secrets, and passion that won't be silenced. Guaranteed HEA.

Reader's Note: A standalone small-town romance packed with hidden identities, smoldering chemistry, and all the feels.
