Ruby McAllister came to Oxford to finish her PhD-not to fall in love. But when her new syntax professor, the brilliant and untouchable Dr William Langford, turns out to be the mysterious man who saved her life months earlier, her carefully laid plans go up in smoke. Their chemistry is immediate and impossible to ignore. Every stolen glance, every burning encounter pulls them closer to a line neither can afford to cross. But desire doesn't ask permission-it only demands surrender. From hushed Oxford offices to moonlit Paris streets, their connection deepens in moments meant to be forgotten. With careers, reputations, and futures on the line, Ruby and William must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice for each other. Because some loves are forbidden by rules... yet destined to be.
