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.
 
                                                                  	*****

"The best relationships are the ones you didn't expect to be in. The ones you never saw coming." ~author unknown "Love is never wrong" ----------------------------------------------- "They'll hear us," I mumbled against his lips. He grunted, which was music to my ears. "I don't care." He said before gripping my shirt tightly and ripping it off my body. My shriek was silenced as his mouth covered mine hungrily once again and he continued his sensual assault to my body.

House of Broken Promises | The Glass Cage Chronicles Book 1 by SheLovesAGoodStory_

In the quiet halls of academia, Mia Carter, a shy and unassuming college senior, crosses paths with the enigmatic and powerful Asahi Nakamura, a visiting CEO with a charm as sharp as his ambition. Drawn into his magnetic world, Mia finds herself navigating a connection that feels too good to be true. But beneath the surface of polished smiles and whispered promises lies a fragile line between desire and control. As Mia steps deeper into Asahi's orbit, the walls of her carefully built life begin to shift, and cracks she can't yet see threaten to shatter everything she thought she knew. Secrets, power, and vulnerability collide in a story where nothing is as perfect as it seems. Will Mia uncover the truth before it's too late, or will she become trapped in a glass cage of her own making? 💕💕💕 Thank you all so much for your incredible support!

She had it all - riches, a college scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents found out about the girlfriend and made her choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That was the end of her academic career. Three years later, she met a shy public reference librarian in a bookstore. He'd been waiting his whole life for her. Meanwhile, she was starting her whole life over. What ensued between the two was magic. Given that he was about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, that was only to be expected. But at what cost? The mysterious older man was all she could ever have wished for, but she might need to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she had ever known. ════════════════════════════════════ "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years...
