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.
*****
THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE. DON'T ADD THIS TO ROMANCE READING LISTS, PLEASE.

Ancilla (BDSM) (18+)
She had it all - riches, a college honors program scholarship, a girlfriend - until her conservative, hyper-religious parents discovered the sapphistry and forced her to choose between conversion therapy and disownment. That choice marked the end of her academic career and everything she thought she knew. Now, three years later, she is starting her life over and meets a shy public librarian in a bookstore. He has been waiting his whole life for her. What unfolds between the two lovers feels almost like magic. Given that he is about to become her tutor in the magickal and erotic arts, perhaps that should come as no surprise. But at what cost? The mysterious older man may be everything she has ever longed for, yet she may be forced to choose between her developing identity and the most profound love she has ever known. Ancilla is a study of hunger. It is a dark, philosophical tale exploring forbidden passion, power, devotion, trauma, sacrifice, and the complicated path toward becoming oneself. The conservative early 1990's in northeast Ohio's Rust Belt sets the stage for a slow-burning, forbidden love. Surrender... ════════════════════════════════════ "Magic and philosophy sandwiched in between some of the hottest scenes I've read in recent years... Loved it!" - Hannah Gonzalez, Reedsy Discovery "Love is brutal, bloody, and ecstatic in this passionate romance... BDSM aficionados will love it... A richly imagined, lurid love story that's not for the faint of heart. (Our verdict: Get it!)" - Kirkus Reviews 🏆 Since its self-published launch in January 2024, Ancilla has won 100+ awards on Wattpad and multiple off-site indie literary awards, including a Passionate Plume and finalist status for a Hawthorne Prize. It has been featured in Wattpad's AfterDark, Romance, LGBTQ, and Ambassadors profile booklists.Complete

౨ৎ [𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 #𝟏][𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄] ౨ৎ He's the one man who could ruin her future. She's the one temptation he can't resist. In the quiet, gossiping corners of small town Grantford, Pennsylvania, secrets are hard to keep and even harder to survive. Rose Winward has fought for every inch of her education. Between two jobs and a hard-earned scholarship at Darwin State, she's months away from the finish line. She has a plan, and it doesn't include distractions―especially not the gorgeous, silver-tongued professor standing at the front of her lecture hall who's twelve years older than her. Professor Roman Whitlock is everything he shouldn't be: dominant, alluring, and completely off-limits. As the heir to the university's biggest donors, Roman is used to the rules not being for him. But even he knows that Rose is a line he shouldn't cross―not when a single scandal could rock the town and destroy her future. From the moment their eyes meet, the air sparks with a dangerous hunger. One touch could cost Rose her scholarship. One reckless night could cost Roman his career. But in a town where everyone is watching, the "wrong" choice has never felt so right. In this game of forbidden desire, are they willing to risk everything for a love that could burn them both? ✎ 📈 HIGHEST RANKINGS: ☻ #1 in #university | 12/02/2024 ☻ #1 in #goodgirl | 03/13/2025 ☻ #1 in #forbiddenromance | 01/23/2026 ☻ #1 in #student | 01/24/2026 ☻ #1 in #teacher | 01/30/2026 ☻ #1 in #rich | 02/08/2026 ☻ #1 in #steamy | 02/28/2026 ☻ #1 in #maturethemes | 05/14/2026 ☻ #1 in #waitress | 06/08/2026 ✎ 🚨 PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMERS/CONTENT WARNINGS/TROPES PAGE.
