A witch who knows the rules. A vampire who's lived too long to care. A forbidden spark that refuses to die...
VALEN Three centuries teach you discipline-over hunger, over steel, over desire. I teach history at Widdershins Academy, coach its fencing team, and keep to the shadows where a vampire belongs. No attachments. No slipups. Then a sharp-tongued stranger pulls me into an alley during one stolen night off campus, and for the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel alive. I never thought I'd see him again-until he pulls off a fencing mask at tryouts and turns out to be Archer Quinn, my newest student.
It would be easy to keep my distance if his laughter didn't feel like a long-lost sunrise, if feeding from him didn't steady something I thought had died centuries ago. But the academy forbids a professor from touching a student, and his family forbids him from so much as speaking to the undead. I've broken a lot of rules in my life.
I don't want to break him.
ARCHER I came to Widdershins to keep my head down-win meets, pass exams, make my family proud. Vampires are dangerous, untrustworthy, off-limits. That was the first lesson the Quinns ever taught me. So I have no business spending one unforgettable night with a stranger in the mountains... and even less business discovering he's Professor Crowe-the centuries-old vampire now grading my work and running my fencing team.
He's wrong for me in every way-older, immortal, the enemy by tradition. Yet the more he feeds on what burns between us, the more my magic seems to sing to his, like it's been waiting all along. If I choose him, I gamble my family name, my inheritance, my whole future. If I don't... I'll spend the rest of my life pretending I never felt destiny bite down.
Nightbound is a rich, high-heat dark academy romance-a forbidden professor-and-student affair, a vampire-and-witch divide, and an age-gap bond that defies every rule. Perfect for readers who want sharp banter, stolen midnight lessons, and a love that chooses itself even when no one else will.
