Amara Alonso is 22 years old and is in her final year studying English literature at NYU. She's smart, kind and gentle, she always has been. But she carries a quiet sadness that most don't see. After losing her mother and sister in a tragic car accident 8 months ago, she was left with an alcoholic father who she blames for their death. She promises herself to push through her last year of college but soon falls into a cycle- skipping classes, tear-stained eyes, and an empty stomach. Emilia Zayed is a 29 year old creative writing professor. Emilia is poised, intelligent and emotionally guarded. She keeps everyone at arm's length- students, colleges, friends, and especially family. She doesn't trust people and shows no intention to. She shows no interest in anybody around her, until a soft brown eyed girl enters her lecture with a look of hurt deep in her eyes that she can't seem to stop thinking about. Emilia notices Amara's writing first. There's something about her work-so raw, so aching, so lonely. It touches something in Emilia she thought she'd buried. Never has a student's piece of writing made her feel this way. They shouldn't get close. They can't get close. But they do. And it's slow, quiet, and deeply emotional. It's Amara showing up during Emilia's office hours not just to talk about writing but about life. It's Emilia realising Amara needs more than feedback-she needs someone who sees her. And it's Amara finally finding someone who doesn't leave. The two form an unspoken bond they can't explain. It's forbidden in the eyes of everybody else. But they can't help but feel softer around each other. Will they ever act on it? Will Amara's hurt or Emilia's closed offness prevent them from ever truly opening up and giving in?

Wherein... A 21-year-old woman, recently kicked out of her apartment, stumbles upon a new place-cheap, quiet, and oddly perfect for her limited budget. Despite its unsettling reputation, she takes the offer. The landlord is a 35-year-old woman with an elegant presence cloaked in something darker-an unsettling aura that sends a chill down the spine, yet draws her in. The room is beautiful. Almost too perfect. And the price? Suspiciously low. Locals whisper that the apartment is cursed, that no one who moves in ever leaves. Still, the 21-year-old can't resist the pull-not just of the room, but of the strange woman who owns it. Will she leave the apartment before it's too late? Or will she become lost-enchanted-by the dark beauty of her new landlord?

Ella Sorax is a weapon in human form-ruthless, untouchable, and driven by a grief turned vengeance. Love is weakness. Trust is danger. Until Samantha Collins walks into her carefully controlled world. Samantha is everything Ella isn't-sunny, stubborn, guarded, and strong despite scars no one else sees. She believes in rare, precious love. Ella doesn't see Samantha. She sees the Collins name, the past, the betrayal. A target. A distraction. A chance for revenge. But revenge has a way of twisting. And when Ella falls, she falls hard. When their worlds collide-teacher and student, power and innocence-nothing is simple. Secrets unravel. Forbidden desire sparks between them like fire and ice. Every look, every word, every touch is a gamble. The right love at the wrong time can ruin everything-or change everything. Will Ella let herself love, or will vengeance win first? Will Samantha survive the one she's beginning to trust, or will betrayal break her before she even realizes the stakes? Dark. Addictive. Emotional. Fall'in For Her is a story of power, obsession, family legacies, forbidden desire, and heartbreak-the kind that leaves you holding your breath until the very last secret is revealed.

Stephanie Walker is eighteen, moving across the country from Los Angeles to New York to begin her dream: law school at NYU. A new city, a new home, new friends, new everything. She's excited, but sleepless nights, old wounds, and quiet struggles follow her everywhere. She wants to live like any other college student, to blend in, to feel normal, but life hasn't been simple, and surviving on her own is harder than she expected. Every late night, every study session, every solitary drive home reminds her that life doesn't come with easy answers. Some nights, she leans on quiet habits she'd never tell anyone about, just to make it to morning. Elena Shay is thirty-two, NYU's Dean and a respected law professor. Her life is built on control, precision, and endless responsibility. At work, she's commanding, elegant, untouchable. Outside it, she's soft, warm, and human, but never careless. Elena doesn't date casually; she doesn't waste time or energy on anything that isn't worth it. She's deliberate, certain, and careful... Until Stephanie. Stephanie isn't just another student. She's sharp, captivating, and unafraid to be herself in a way that draws Elena in deeper than it should. Suddenly, the carefully maintained line between professional and personal life begins to blur. The rules, the expectations, the life Elena's worked so hard to control all scream that nothing between them can ever happen. And yet, the pull becomes impossible to ignore. As their worlds collide, Stephanie discovers a side of life she's never dared to touch: warmth, comfort, attention, and desire from someone who sees her fully, not as a girl with a "rough" childhood, but as a woman. Together, Elena and Stephanie fall into chaos, vulnerability, and longing they didn't know they were missing. Every glance, every touch, and every moment carries risk. Risk of exposure, of judgment, of everything crashing down, all shaped by the choices resting in their hands.

A slow-burn, taboo, age-gap romance about timing, temptation, and the quiet pull of the unexpected When Rowan transfers to an architect university, hoping for a quiet reset. She doesn't expect to click so effortlessly with Liana, a fellow student with a brilliant mind, a messy sketchbook, and a tendency to adopt people without asking. But Liana's world comes with something else. A home that feels too beautiful to belong to a college student and a mother who seems too poised, too self-assured, too observant to ignore. Liana's mother is everything Rowan doesn't understand yet, very composed, magnetic, and unsettling in ways that linger long after she leaves the room. Their connection is subtle at first. A glance. A pause. A conversation that feels heavier than it should. As Rowan becomes more entangled in Liana's world, she finds herself drawn to the one person she was never supposed to notice. The boundaries blur. The silences deepen. And the question of what's right becomes far more complicated than she ever imagined. My Other Books; Miss Blackwood Power, passion, and secrets. Love that demands everything. Aphrodite -My Tail Leads Me To You When divine desire calls, the heart follows its own mysterious path. - Sequel- Mrs. Blackwood. The Silent Confession.
