Secretly Married To Her Professor

"Like what?" I whispered.
"Like you want me to ruin you." His deep rasp caressed my skin like a candle flame.
God help me. I did.

"No." His eyes dropped to my mouth. "We really shouldn't."
Neither of us moved.
....
Moon Alexander was handed a marriage contract at nineteen by her uncle who raised and ruined her and was told to sign in his daughter's place, have a child for a stranger and get her freedom. Her husband is her art professor and he is the most dangerous man she has ever been in a room with.
Their marriage was meant to be a secret, hidden, forgotten. But then everything changes when secrets, yearning and desire threaten to ruin their carefully constructed roles.
It all starts with one kiss. One touch.
And soon the Muse will become the Artist's damnation.
