Luca has spent his entire life trying to be good. Good enough for the grandparents who raised him after his father abandoned him. Good enough to earn a scholarship and build a future. Good enough to keep the painful secrets from his freshman year buried where no one can find them. Then he meets Maddox Levine. Maddox is a closed-off professor who has spent decades keeping people at arm's length. Bitter, guarded, and haunted by his past, he never expected a shy, sweet teaching assistant to break through the walls around his heart. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection between them. As their attraction grows, Luca and Maddox must navigate a forbidden relationship that could cost them everything. What begins as admiration soon turns into something deeper, forcing both men to confront their fears, their pasts, and the possibility that love might be worth the risk.
