hi hi, I try to upload a new chapter every wednesday and maybe sunday! :)

"She was never supposed to care. But she did. And Tara was never supposed to feel seen-until she did." Tara doesn't ask for much-just to get through the day without breaking. Between a crumbling home life, invisible scars, and the suffocating weight of survival, she's learned to keep her head down and her heart guarded. That is, until she meets her. Maria Emerson Tara's new teacher-calm, composed, and unknowingly magnetic. She sees through Tara's defiance, her silence, her carefully constructed walls. But what begins as concern slowly twists into something far more dangerous-for both of them. As glances linger too long and conversations dip too deep, an unspoken bond forms. It's wrong. 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. Ms. Emerson is an emotionally charged wlw age-gap romance about the pull of forbidden connection, the ache of being seen, and the cost of crossing lines that were never meant to be blurred. Some love stories aren't allowed. But they still find a way to be written.
