Claimed By my Professor

She enrolled in his class to rebuild her life, not lose her heart.
But her professor notices every fracture she tries to hide.
Older, brilliant, controlled to the point of breaking… he isn’t supposed to watch her with that quiet, consuming intensity. And she isn’t supposed to feel steadier in his presence than anywhere else in the world.
She’s the one student he should keep at arm’s length.
The one woman he can’t stop thinking about.
And when her life becomes overwhelming, he’s done pretending he could ever let her go.
