When Laura Westwood moves to a new town, she hopes for only one thing: peace. She wants to work, avoid attention, and finally cut herself off from the past no one here needs to know about. The new school is supposed to be the place where she can finally draw all her boundaries herself - clearly, simply, without gaps. But reality doesn't follow the plan. Especially when her quiet, distant demeanor starts to spark curiosity, and while trying to run from her own emotions, she crosses paths with someone who can bring them out of her far too easily. Demeter Schalke has something Laura notices from the very first lessons - a hypersensitivity, stubbornness, a need to be seen. Something she should ignore. Something that slowly becomes the only thing she can't ignore anymore. The boundaries Laura sets with such precision begin to shift. Not suddenly. Not dramatically. But through small gestures, conversations, moments no one else sees - moments that grow heavier week by week. Both of them try to keep a safe distance: Demeter - because she doesn't know what to do with the attachment growing inside her. Laura - because she knows all too well how dangerous it can be to step into someone else's life.

At forty-five, Professor Loredana Dove has built her life on control. Keeping her colleagues at arm's length and her students at a distance. At home, her marriage to an absent, quarrelsome wife is crumbling, leaving her to raise their five year old daughter in quiet isolation. She has convinced herself she needs nothing more until Romina Maple crashes into her classroom. Nineteen smart, and reckless, Romina is the youngest in her year. To her classmates she's the loud, infuriating party girl; to herself, she's struggling with mental health, taking care of her three year old brother and the only responsible adult in a house run by aging grandparents, her defiance masks hunger, her insolence disguises fear. Their lives should never touch. Yet hunger recognizes hunger. What begins as irritation morphs into fascination, into a closeness neither woman knows how to resist. Boundaries blur. Rules splinter. And both must face the truth: some desires do not starve quietly, and some silences can undo a lifetime of control. Our Shared Solitude is a story of two women who should have walked away yet found themselves consumed by the one thing they were never meant to want.

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]

Maria Emerson Tara's new teacher-calm, composed, and unknowingly magnetic. She sees through Tara's defiance, her silence, her carefully constructed walls.

It's terrifying. It's the only thing that feels right. But nothing stays secret forever. With friends growing suspicious, a town ready to judge, and the threat of everything unraveling, Tara is forced to confront the truth: she's falling for the one person she should stay away from. And Maria? She knows the line. But she keeps stepping closer.
