When Isla Vaughn, an ambitious art student, falls for Adrian Cole, the brilliant and enigmatic professor she was never supposed to love, they're forced into a world of secrecy, risk, and impossible choices. What begins as a forbidden connection turns into a transformative love-one that challenges them to defy the rules, face the consequences, and grow into the people they were always meant to become. But when opportunity pulls them in opposite directions-hers toward the light of gallery walls, his toward the legacy of lecture halls-they must ask: Can love survive when the world says it shouldn't?And when dreams pull you apart... can love be what brings you back?
