The Professor's Forbidden Protégée

Mocked as a "magicless failure," Selena is betrayed by her stepsister and flees into the forbidden Black Forest, where she forms a dangerous bond with Sebastian, her professor cursed by dark magic. Her touch alone can suppress his curse—and he may be the key to unlocking the power sealed within her for twelve years. As desire grows and a conspiracy closes in, Selena must reclaim her magic, while Sebastian must choose between his future and the girl he cannot abandon.
