"Do you feel like a woman?" He asked, looking up at me from his knees.
Sylvia Ashkar, a bright yet reserved Political Science student at Thornebrooke University, NY, has always found solace in the pages of books. As an introvert, she immerses herself in the world of fiction, preferring the comfort of imagined worlds to the uncertainty of real-life relationships. But everything changes when she enrolls in a literature class taught by the enigmatic and seemingly cold Professor Theodore Montgomery.
Mr. Montgomery is a man of sharp intellect and even sharper opinions. His lectures are captivating, but his critiques are harsh, especially when it comes to Sylvia's writing. She feels both frustrated and challenged by him, her frustration only deepening as she begins to see that beneath his harsh exterior lies a complex man. With each heated exchange, their professional relationship becomes increasingly strained, yet there's an undeniable tension simmering beneath the surface.
In a world where love seems as intricate and unpredictable as the novels they study, Sylvia must decide if she's willing to step outside her comfort zone, both in her academic pursuits and her heart, to explore a new chapter in her life with the man who has both challenged and inspired her.
Will she take this new chapter as something to learn and grow from, or will she reject these new beginnings?
