Lucy Archibald is in her final semester at Eden Falls University, balancing the pressure of being a D1 gymnast with the even heavier weight of her high-society family’s expectations. She’s the good girl. The polished one. The girl who never breaks the rules. Until one snowy night at a party in the Hamptons… when she kisses a gorgeous stranger in a hot tub. She figured it would be a one-time thing. Just fun. No consequences. Then she walks into her chemistry class the next week and sees him standing at the front of the room. Professor Owen Park knows better than to get involved with a student. He’s a first-year professor, currently applying for research grants with hopes of landing a promotion. The last thing he needs is a scandal. But Lucy, with her sharp mind, easy smile, and way-too-flirty glances from the back row, is making it nearly impossible to forget the forbidden kiss they shared. They’re both trying to play it cool. But when a new threat pulls them closer, the tension between them heats up fast, and staying away starts to feel less like the smart choice and more like the one thing they can’t do.
