In Dr. Wren Sinclair's seminar, nothing is surface level. Not the texts. Not the questions. Not the way she looks at Casey Rivers across the table. Casey is in her third year at Everett University, in a relationship that's expected. But the more time she spends in Sinclair's office discussing repression and longing, the harder it becomes to ignore her own. What begins between the lines of literature starts bleeding into real life. And once the tension shifts from intellectual to intimate, there's no pretending it's just academic anymore. *Slow burn* *Some domestic abuse* Has been: #1 Women #1 Womensfiction #1 Intellectual #1 Lesbianromance #2 womanxwoman

Book 1 Book 2: Buddhist and the Billionaire Book 3: Molly's Story For Jordan "mind reading" was not something that manifested as it does in the movies. Jordan had come to think of it more as "emotional reading" that revealed the true nature of the thoughts of an individual. Jordan managed to live a life of restraint and she distanced herself from most people as a means of survival. She went through a period of time when she felt like she was living a life of solitude that was unfair and cruel, but ultimately she embraced her situation and at least for now she convinced herself that she was content.
