Illicit Verses

When Aratrika enters Ruaan's advanced literature class, she doesn't expect to find someone who sees through her carefully constructed walls. From the first debate, sparks ignite-her rebellion against his authority, his restraint against her challenge. She should be off-limits, just another student. But every conversation with her is like poetry-raw, intense, and dangerously intimate. Ruaan knows better than to cross the line. A single misstep could destroy his career. But the more he resists, the more inevitable it becomes. When a moment of weakness turns into something far more dangerous, their forbidden love threatens to ruin them both. And when ghosts from their pasts come knocking, they must decide-fight the world, or let go before it's too late.
