Silent Flames (Vincent Series)
Ariana Wilson, known to everyone as Aana, is innocence wrapped in warmth...a calm, soft-spoken girl who always chooses kindness over confrontation. Her world has always been simple and predictable... until her fate tangles with that of Professor Alaric Vincent. Alaric is everything Aana isn't...disciplined, commanding, and bound by structure. His words carry authority; his gaze, restraint. To his students, he's an enigma...brilliant, untouchable, and perfectly composed. But beneath that calm lies a man constantly at war with himself. Because every time Aana walks into his classroom, his carefully built world threatens to shatter. The situation turns even more impossible when destiny twists their paths. Ana is promised to Derek Vincent, Alaric's charming younger brother. And Alaric is engaged to Scarlett, Aana's poised step-sister. Two perfect matches, arranged to strengthen family ties. Yet, when eyes meet across crowded halls and glances linger too long, perfection starts to crumble. What begins as fleeting tension soon becomes a pull neither of them can resist. Every stolen glance, every accidental touch, every word unsaid fans the silent fire burning between them. He knows she's forbidden. She knows he's unreachable. But love has never followed rules. Silent Flame is a slow-burn, forbidden romance between a disciplined professor and the student he cannot have - a story of restraint, temptation, and the ache of wanting someone the world says you shouldn't.
