Seduced by the Professor
(2026)(The first book in the Forbidden Faculty series)
A novel by Bridget Adrienne
She came to Everpine University to disappear. I made her mine instead.
MAKS
I didn’t come to Everpine University looking for temptation. I came to teach, stay disciplined, and keep my life controlled after losing my younger brother and watching my marriage fall apart.
Then Emerson Blake sits in the front row.
She tries to disappear, keeping her eyes down and her voice quiet, carrying herself like someone who’s learned how to survive being watched. I recognize it immediately. She’s running.
Her father’s arrest destroyed her family’s reputation, and she transferred here hoping no one would know her name. What she didn’t count on was me noticing everything.
I tell myself she’s off limits. A student. Untouchable.
But guilt taught me to overprotect. Loss taught me to hold on tighter. And once Emerson starts coming to my office hours, I stop pretending I don’t crave her.
EMERSON
I came to Everpine to disappear.
After my father was arrested, I became ‘that girl’ overnight. The one people whispered about. So I transferred schools and tried to start over.
Professor Maks Calder was never supposed to be part of my fresh start.
He’s intense and controlled, always watching like he already knows my secrets. He makes me feel seen in ways that scare me.
I try to keep my distance.
But Maks doesn’t do distance.
He offers protection I didn’t ask for, control I didn’t expect, and when he pulls me into his world, I realize too late…
I didn’t escape my past.
I walked straight into something far more dangerous.
