I'm his muse.
His obsession.


Worn down by the responsibilities of caring for my troubled brother, I just wanted an escape. To lose myself. To be free.


Rian Merrick is a wildly talented artist, the "rockstar" professor on campus. Everyone's obsession.
For some reason I've become his.


He doesn't care that he's twice my age. That a relationship with his student could ruin him.
He loves that I'm a greedy girl with bad desires.
I love when he punishes me for it.
He won't stop until he's tied me to him in every way.


But that means when his demons come for him-it'll drown us both.


??Author's note: this is a dark, angsty romance dealing with addiction and toxic relationships. If you don't like your heroes over-the-top and obsessive, and you don't like your spice "degrading" and "impactful", walk away. Otherwise, strap yourself in and grab onto your "oh shit" handle, this is a roller-coaster that won't stop til the bitter end...
