He made me his ol' lady. I thought it was because he'd finally seen me as more than my brother's little sister. Until I heard him talking with his ex, I didn't realize he was with me out of guilt, that he'd promised to protect me. So I ran and didn't look back...until I had to go back to find him waiting for me.

Nineteen-year-old Sloane Vale has spent her life outrunning shadows-her mother's lies, her own silence, and the incident that shattered their relationship forever. Now, after her mother's fifth marriage, Sloane is dragged into a world she never asked to enter: high society, old money, and a secret circle of power that runs the city from behind masked galas and blood-soaked contracts. She shows up on a motorcycle, all leather, scars, and fake smiles-and immediately disrupts everything. Especially him. Her new stepbrother, West Callahan-cold, perfect, untouchable. And his friends: Jude, who smiles while he breaks things. Beckett, who hides his pain in brutal art. Rhys, who runs the society like a king with a golden noose. They're all older. They're all dangerous. And they're all bound to each other by secrets Sloane isn't supposed to know-or want. But Sloane doesn't follow rules. Not when they belong to the people who tried to bury her once. Not when every kiss tastes like defiance. Not when every lie she unravels brings her closer to the truth... and the boys who would burn the world to keep her. As their obsession turns deadly and their twisted society demands loyalty above love, Sloane has to decide: Will she destroy them from the inside out-or claim them as hers first?

Nova Quinn doesn't kneel for anyone. At eighteen, she's inherited grief, money, and a one-way ticket to Hellridge College-a place known for its elite programs, brutal professors, and whispered warnings. She arrives in black leather, messy bun, and sacred rage. She doesn't want friends. She doesn't want love. She wants silence. But the Vale Brothers don't leave things silent. Lucien, Ronan, and Kai are professors with reputations carved in fear. Sadists in suits. They speak to no one. Look at no one. Until Nova blasts music in their lecture hall and refuses to shrink. She's chaos wrapped in ink and pain. They're control wrapped in dominance and ritual. And when she's hurt, they don't ask questions. They act. What begins as protection turns into obsession. What starts as punishment becomes sacred. Nova doesn't submit easily-but when she does, it's not just to one man. It's to all three. The Professors' Girl is a dark, emotionally charged BDSM standalone about grief, power, and the kind of love that doesn't ask-it takes. Three sadist professors. One leather-clad rebel. This isn't a romance. It's a reckoning.

💔 Where It Hurts to Stay (Wren Callahan & Leo Montgomery - Book Four in The Hurt Series) She met him before she knew who he was. Then she sat down in his classroom. And everything changed. Wren Callahan doesn't believe in happy endings. Not after her mom spiraled-again. Not after she left L.A. for Denver to live with her brother Dean, trying to finish her senior year without falling apart. She's sharp-tongued, political, impossible to cage- a girl made of wildfire learning how to survive her own sparks. Then there's Leo Montgomery- twenty-one, brilliant, too passionate for his own good. A first-year teacher who still looks more like a heartbreak in denim than authority in a tie. Too young to be cynical. Too idealistic to see the danger coming. When they meet, he's just the stranger who challenges her beliefs, matches her bite for bite, and makes her pulse forget how to behave. She doesn't know he teaches. He doesn't know she's still a student. Their spark is instant. Their chemistry-disaster dressed up as destiny. And when Wren walks into her new classroom and finds him standing there-sleeves rolled, eyes locked on hers every rule that's supposed to save them starts to burn. He's her teacher. She's the revolution he never saw coming. A forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap romance about crossing lines, defying expectations, and falling for the one person you were never meant to love. 🔥 18+ Mature Content Warning 🔥 Contains explicit scenes, underage drinking, and a forbidden teacher-student romance between consenting characters (legal age of consent observed).
