    Summary

    Dr. Freen Sarocha is Stanford’s most respected behavioral psychology lecturer—brilliant, controlled, untouchable. What no one knows is that empathy has never lived inside her. Morality doesn’t stop her. Discipline does. And when that discipline falters, she disappears into the night, feeding urges she keeps hidden from the world.

    Rebecca Armstrong never meant to notice her. New to the university and quietly carrying her own scars, she wanders into one of Freen’s lectures by accident. One glance lingers too long. One moment cracks the professor’s flawless composure. And suddenly, Rebecca finds herself drawn toward someone she should keep her distance from.

    As their paths begin to cross—softly, inevitably—Rebecca starts sensing the shadows Freen keeps buried. And Freen, for the first time, feels something dangerously close to attachment toward someone who sees past her mask.

    A slow-burn psychological romance about control, hunger, and the fragile line between restraint and desire—where closeness becomes both temptation and threat.
