When Kevin Crawford, the 2nd Earl of Rathwell hires Sharla O'Brien as his wine investment firm manager, he doesn't expect to fall in love in the bargain. With his meddlesome mother completely against her, Kevin finds himself in over his head with the feelings he has for Sharla contradicting his title and status at every turn. 🍷 Sharla never expected to land her dream job working for a sexy English earl, and here she is, jet-setting all over Europe and North America buying and tasting wines for his investment firm. She's come a long way from rural Southwestern Ontario and her parents winery. When things get hot between them on a business trip and it lands her picture on the cover of the Tatler, she has to make a decision. Can she handle being a high society woman beside him, or will she run from the emotions she's feeling for a man completely out of her league? 🍷 This is the follow up to the Watty-award winning book Out of His League, published by W by Wattpad Books in April 2022.

౨ৎ [𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 #𝟏][𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄] ౨ৎ He's the one man who could ruin her future. She's the one temptation he can't resist. In the quiet, gossiping corners of small town Grantford, Pennsylvania, secrets are hard to keep and even harder to survive. Rose Winward has fought for every inch of her education. Between two jobs and a hard-earned scholarship at Darwin State, she's months away from the finish line. She has a plan, and it doesn't include distractions―especially not the gorgeous, silver-tongued professor standing at the front of her lecture hall who's twelve years older than her. Professor Roman Whitlock is everything he shouldn't be: dominant, alluring, and completely off-limits. As the heir to the university's biggest donors, Roman is used to the rules not being for him. But even he knows that Rose is a line he shouldn't cross―not when a single scandal could rock the town and destroy her future. From the moment their eyes meet, the air sparks with a dangerous hunger. One touch could cost Rose her scholarship. One reckless night could cost Roman his career. But in a town where everyone is watching, the "wrong" choice has never felt so right. In this game of forbidden desire, are they willing to risk everything for a love that could burn them both? ✎ 📈 HIGHEST RANKINGS: ☻ #1 in #university | 12/02/2024 ☻ #1 in #goodgirl | 03/13/2025 ☻ #1 in #forbiddenromance | 01/23/2026 ☻ #1 in #student | 01/24/2026 ☻ #1 in #teacher | 01/30/2026 ☻ #1 in #rich | 02/08/2026 ☻ #1 in #steamy | 02/28/2026 ☻ #1 in #maturethemes | 05/14/2026 ✎ 🚨 PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMERS/CONTENT WARNINGS/TROPES PAGE.
