(19 year old) Claire Powers finds herself admitted to another Private Practice. Repression, sex and sarcasm- her ways through life. What happens when she has no choice but to face her trauma? Or when her therapist becomes more than just a safe person? Ember adores her work. She has no time for romantic connections. But when reality strikes and she's home alone with her feline friend and a book she's read one too many times, loneliness casts a shadow over her that she can't outrun. Boundaries blur. Safety strengthens. Ethics rot. Claire (19) Ember (40)

Valentina, a student at Heartfelt University, is assigned to the notoriously rude and cold Professor Montgomery. While the professor's harsh demeanor clashes with Val's quiet and positive nature, their academic sparring soon turns into something deeper. As Val's intelligence and persistence break through Professor Montgomery's icy exterior, a surprising and tender connection begins to bloom. [wlw] [slow burn]

Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]
