After Class

Seventeen-year-old Samantha Wilkins expected her junior year at Preston Academy to be just like any other. That was until Ethan Blackwood walked into her AP English class.

Young, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Mr. Blackwood isn't just another teacher - he's everything Sam never knew she needed. Those piercing green eyes see right through her carefully constructed walls, and his passion for literature matches the intensity of the feelings she's trying desperately to deny.

What begins with lingering glances and electric touches during Literary Magazine meetings slowly evolves into something deeper, darker, and infinitely more dangerous. As their connection grows stronger, the line between teacher and student begins to blur.

But in a world of strict rules and watchful eyes, their forbidden romance could cost them everything. Sam knows loving him is wrong, yet nothing in her seventeen years of life has ever felt so right.

Some lessons aren't meant to be taught in classrooms. Some loves aren't meant to follow rules.
