An icy, broody professor, a sweet, kind-hearted student, and a forbidden love that changes everything.

The first time I met Ryland Anderson, I sprawled at his feet in his classroom. His glare burned right through me and turned my world upside down.

He was a storm, and I was caught in his pull, a whirlwind where we collided. Every stolen glance and charged silence defied the boundaries set before us, blurring the line we couldn't cross.

It was all kinds of wrong, and we both knew it. Yet, the pull between us made right or wrong irrelevant, as if our hearts knew something our minds refused to admit.

Then, an impossible choice tore us apart before anything could happen between us. I thought my decision would calm the storm and Ryland Anderson would just become a memory.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Because the storm never stopped. It was merely gathering strength.

When Ryland crashes back into my life again, the spark between us turns into an inferno.

Still off-limits and still my professor, the storm we thought we escaped is now impossible to outrun. But the stakes are higher-his reputation, my future, and everything we stand for hang in the balance.

How can I resist when the whirlwind refuses to let go of my heart? And what will happen when it all comes crashing down?
