It was meant to be just a celebration. Nothing more, nothing less - or so Cecilia Roth thought , a German major trying to keep her life simple. She never, in her wildest imagination, would have expected to catch her new professor in unprofessional behavior with one of her former colleagues. Professor Dietrich - feared for her coldness, her discipline, her distance - caught in a moment that changes everything. And professor Dietrich? She doesn't let things slide. Especially not when it comes to Cecilia. Between rebellion and power, emotion and emptiness, a tension begins to grow. A glance turns into something more. A line starts to blur. And maybe, in the end, Cecilia will question more than just her professor.

One is hiding from the world. The other is trying to find her place in it. Ellie is perfectly content with her single flat and her Criminal Minds marathon, and a healthy dose of Tumblr nostalgia-until MoonPetal45 enters the chat. As the pressure of her final year mounts, this online stranger becomes her greatest support. Dr. Pembrose knows the rules. As a professor, she should have blocked the charming, accident-prone student the moment she recognised her. But in the quiet of her new home, the line between mentor and admirer is blurring, and Ellie's frequent run-ins with gravity are making the doctor fall a little too hard.

Seraphina Esposito is a mafia queen.. cold, ruthless, untouchable. At twenty-five she rules an empire built on fear, wielding power like a blade and believing feelings to be nothing but weakness. Love, family, softness.. those are luxuries she's burned out of herself. Or so she thought. Then comes Elowen Morgan. Beautiful. Too emotionally intelligent. Kindhearted. Too pure for a world like hers... and yet, impossible to ignore. With honey-brown eyes that see too much and a quiet defiance behind her smile, she unsettles everything Seraphina thought she knew. Seraphina doesn't do love. But desire? Obsession? The urge to claim what should never have been hers? That, she can't seem to resist. What happens when a woman who feels nothing meets the one person she can't stop feeling?
