Noah Everly thought teaching at an elite private school in the heart of the city would be an escape-a chance to fade into the background, to quietly exist. But from the moment he stepped into his classroom, he felt it. The heavy, burning gaze of a predator.
Kieran Wolfe isn't just another student. He's obsessed. His teacher is his. No one else should look at him. No one else should speak to him. And Noah certainly shouldn't be resisting him.
From subtle manipulations to outright stalking, Kieran's obsession knows no bounds. He leaves gifts, invades Noah's space, and watches his every move. When jealousy takes hold, things turn even darker. No one is safe. Not Noah's colleagues. Not his friends. Not even Noah himself.
Because Kieran won't stop until Noah realizes the truth.
He was never free. He was always Kieran's to own.
