Overview

Professor Carmen Vega has it all: academic prestige, professional respect, and a brilliant career built on years of sacrifice. Her Hispanic Literature classes are legendary, and she maintains a perfectly calculated distance from all her students.

Until Lilith Montero appears.

Brilliant, defiant, and dangerously attractive, Lilith can see beyond Carmen's facade, awakening feelings the professor believed were buried forever. When a chance encounter off campus breaks down the barriers between them, both women plunge into a forbidden romance that could cost them everything they've fought for.

With each clandestine caress, with each stolen kiss, rumors begin to circulate.

In the halls of the university, where a reputation takes decades to build and seconds to destroy, someone is watching. And when the dean calls Carmen to his office, both women must face a devastating truth: the love they've found might be precisely what destroys them.

An intense novel about desire, power, and the impossible choices we must make when the heart and mind lead us down opposite paths.

Can love survive when everything else is at stake?
