He's her professor.
She's his student.
And every rule between them is starting to burn.
Yelena came to Loyola University to study art history, but when her new professor walks into class, everything inside her remembers him and what happened that night she was dragged from her bed and introduced to monsters.
Jasper Hawthorne is handsome, controlled, and dangerously familiar. He watches Yelena like he has loved her before. Like he has lost her before. Like he was made to protect her forever.
This dark academia fantasy romance is perfect for readers who crave forbidden professor/student tension, reincarnated soulmates, ancient curses, blood bonds, dangerous angels, morally gray monsters, and a heroine who discovers she was never the corrupted one in the story.
