Allison Woods has one rule for her new apartment: no distractions until she finishes her dissertation. Then her infuriatingly handsome neighbor helps wrestle an antique desk through the door, and one reckless night blows that plan apart.

Dr. Julian Cross expects the woman across the hall to be a complication he can enjoy and leave behind. By morning, they discover the truth: he has just been assigned as the emergency outside examiner for her dissertation defense.

Julian recuses himself immediately. Allison's work remains independent. But academic gossip travels faster than either of them expected, and distance is difficult when the person who sees you most clearly lives ten feet away.

With her doctorate, his career, and both their reputations under scrutiny, Allison and Julian must decide whether protecting each other means walking away - or trusting a love neither of them planned.

The Professor Across the Hall is a steamy, emotionally grounded transgender contemporary romance featuring neighbors-to-lovers chemistry, an accidental forbidden connection, clear consent, a versatile trans heroine, and a hard-won happily ever after.
