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...
