Nevermore

"Sometimes the most forbidden fruit is the sweetest."

Kieran McKnight

Ten years ago, my world crumbled around me. Losing my wife turned me into a shell of a man, stuck teaching entitled Ivy League brats by day and drowning my pain in meaningless sex by night. The club has saved me countless times, until she walks into my classroom. There's something behind the pain in her eyes that pulls me in, and even though I know she's forbidden, I can't stay away, no matter how hard I try.

Deirdre Ravencroft

For the last year, I've been running from my tortured past, hiding amongst the shadows in hopes that he won't find me. When I end up in a small town in Connecticut, I'm determined to take control of my life—so I fill my time as a cocktail waitress by night, and a student by day. I stick out like a sore thumb among these snooty frat boys and sorority girls, but one thing draws me in: the broody professor teaching my literature class.

I know I shouldn't cross the lines of temptation. But when an embarrassing incident forces us together, we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of heated moments, and I start to wonder if I can really stay away… or if I even want to.
