Once considered one of Oxford’s most promising academics, Luna Harlowe left the institution under circumstances that remain curiously undefined.

Now lecturing at the University of Greenwich, Luna has rebuilt herself through routine, restraint, and control. Elegant, distant, and quietly intimidating within academic circles, she moves through London with the careful composure of someone determined never to lose command of herself again.

Then she meets Felicia Rodrigues.

Brazilian-born and effortlessly magnetic, Felicia teaches business after years in Latin American studies. Warm where Luna is restrained, instinctive where Luna is analytical, she unsettles Luna in ways both subtle and immediate. What begins as intellectual curiosity slowly transforms into something far more dangerous: longing, dependency, obsession, and the terrifying possibility of being truly seen.

Set between rain-soaked London evenings, elite academia, and the emotional violence of self-restraint, [NovelName] is a slow-burning literary novel about intimacy, identity, class, loneliness, and the unbearable vulnerability of love.
