Ruthless Professors: a Dark Academia Reverse Harem Romance of Ruin &

They didn’t just want to break my mind. They needed to extract the weapon buried inside it.

I came to this elite, gothic New England academy for one reason: to find the truth about my sister’s death. Armed with a fake identity, a ceramic boot knife, and an eidetic memory, I thought I was the hunter.

I was wrong. I stepped directly into the crosshairs of the Triad.

Zachary Beck, the clinical, immaculate behavioral scientist who can unravel my sanity with a single whispered command in the dark. Earl Ortega, the massive, battle-scarred tactical instructor who guards my body with lethal, territorial violence. Theo Jordan, the chaotic, brilliant cryptographer who brands his manic equations directly onto my skin.

They are the most powerful, untouchable professors at the Academy. And they have made me their singular obsession. They isolate me. They push my physical and psychological limits. They strip away my sarcastic armor and force me to surrender every defense mechanism I’ve spent a decade building.

But this isn’t just a twisted academic hazing ritual.

The Triad is a rogue sleeper cell, and I am the biological vault holding a world-ending cipher. The memories of my sister? A fabricated lie surgically implanted in my brain by the Academy’s sociopathic Dean to hide the launch codes to a global blackout virus.

If the Society extracts the code, the world burns. If my professors push my mind too fast, the neural fail-safe in my skull will trigger and kill me. To save my life, the three men who are fiercely, desperately in love with me must first become the monsters from my nightmares.

I thought I had nothing left to lose. But giving them my mind, my body, and my absolute trust might be the most dangerous equation of all.
