He was supposed to be the one in control.

Tate Robinson took the headmaster's post at a remote mountain college expecting prestige, peace, and a quiet route to the top. What he got was Bella Marchant ? nineteen, reckless, and the most dangerous temptation he's ever faced.

She teases. She provokes. She's decided that seducing the one man she can't have is the perfect revenge on the stepfather who sent her away. And she pushes every button Tate has... until the storm rolls in, the office door locks, and the line he swore he'd never cross stops looking like a line at all.

But there's a man sitting across the desk from Tate now. A stranger who wants to know exactly what happened behind that locked door ? every filthy detail. Because powerful people have been watching Tate Robinson.

And what they want from him is only just beginning.

Some confessions don't end in punishment. They end in an invitation.
