Penn Romero is a smart girl. Smart girls don't get involved with their professors.
 
                                                                  	*****
 
It begins with a casual meeting at a speakeasy. It begins with a drink. It begins with a stolen stare. It begins with the not-knowing, the secrecy, the sneaking around. 

Penn Romero hardly knew what she was getting into when she was drawn in by Chase Steele's magnetism, and she hardly knew he'd be her new Film Theory professor. Against everything she's ever known, against everything she should do, she stills falls into a dark spiral of manipulation that keeps her trapped in a spider web, losing sight of who the real Penn is--all that's left is what he has made of her and all he's taken.

It ends with him taking and taking. It ends with the should've-knowns. It ends in ruin.
 
                                                                  	*****

"I fought for our love, but I chose the wrong fight." Fate is not something to be relied upon. She knew this. Yet, she made a mistake she regrets for her life - falling in love. The man she loved is a monster in hide who only loved her darkest side she is running from. Mia Stormvale, a bright medical student who joins one of the most prestigious colleges, falls for the 'love trap' as she sets out to solve the murder of one of her two closest friends. But her fate had other plans. The journey of revenge and justice for her friend turns the tables for worse. He loved her. But he feared his world, his mother more. Not because he chose that, but because he had no choice at all. His father's empire was everything for him, for his sister's life was at stake. He lived a life he was forced and chose to destroy his love over his sister. He lives by two names. One, that brings joy to his life, even if it's temporary and the other, that brings only havoc and death, even to his soul. Will they be able to come over their challenges and demons to finally be together or will they suffer the unimaginable?

Until her polar opposite shows up. Mason Pembrook, a guy that has a new girl every night. He's never dated a girl and he's never used the word 'love' ever in his life. Mason and Madison find an immediate attraction to each other even though they are far from being alike. Mason forces Madison to dislike him because romance scares him. Madison hides her true feelings deep down inside of her. One night is all it takes for Mason to take Madison's virginity and create a wild, toxic, and addicting romance between the two of them. What brought her to him? Is it because Mason is broken, and Madison believes she has to fix everyone? Is it because not only did he take her virginity, but he made her feel what a true kiss feels like? Or is it because she's become addicted to the arousing feelings and pleasure he can give her? These two are no good for each other but can't stay away. They are magnets in this universe, attracted from thousands of miles away no matter what happens. The fights they have would end any relationship, yet they keep going back to each other. The more they are together the more they fall in love with each other. The more they make love with each other the more they realize what true love feels like. The more they fight the further they end up away from each other. Can true love and arousing romance be more powerful than the arguments and disapproval they can have for each other? To madison, Mason is 'My broken YOU'

"Don't..." he rubbed my clit slowly, and I gasped, closing my eyes shut. "You ever think of talking about that damn blondie in front of me again," he dipped a finger into me slowly, and I squeezed my toes in my shoes. "Or think of seeing or getting stuck with him forever. It will never happen while I'm alive, Darlin Zera. Hmm?" He pulled out and shoved it in again, and I let out a silent cry. "We...are...in the library," I croaked, forcing my eyes to look at his. "You think I didn't know that? Huh?" He slowly drew his finger out before forcing it back in. I bit my bottom lips sharply and suppressed my moan. "Also, you will be a good girl for me and go to the teacher's office. Tell them you want me as a partner instead. " He pulled out, leaving half of his finger inside me before shoving it back in. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Zera Palmer is an ordinary, smart, and composed senior in Meadow High who finds herself juggling her studies with feeding her family by working part-time as a waitress.
