Lena Carter is a neuroscience major with a strict life plan-graduate with honors, land a prestigious internship, and avoid distractions, especially love. But when she's forced into a semester-long psychology experiment with Asher Hayes, the campus' most unpredictable music major, her structured world starts to fall apart.

The experiment? A deep-dive study on emotional connection. Two strangers must spend time together, answer personal questions, and engage in activities designed to create intimacy. Lena is determined to keep things scientific, but Asher-spontaneous, charming, and frustratingly insightful-challenges her every belief about emotions, love, and life.

As their sessions turn into late-night conversations, impulsive adventures, and undeniable chemistry, Lena starts questioning if love really is just a chemical reaction... or something more.

But Asher has secrets, and Lena has a future planned far away from him. Will they prove love is just a theory, or will they become the exception?All Rights Reserved

Between Love & Lies by luvisforthewayu

Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~

The Hollow Girl by wannabewriter236

Iris Flynn is a liar. She lies when she says she's fine. She lies when she says she doesn't remember that night. And she lies most of all when she says she doesn't miss Ronan Hayes. Four years ago, they were inseparable - best friends tangled in almosts and maybes. Until a party, a locked door, and a betrayal neither of them came back from. Now, Iris is a different girl. A girl who hides behind cherry-red hair and tattoos, who rules the bar at The Hollow and gives her heart to no one. Ronan was never supposed to be here. Not in New York. Not at NYU. Not walking back into her life like a ghost she's spent years trying to outrun. She wants to hate him. He refuses to leave. And somewhere between the rooftop parties, neon lights, and stolen moments that feel like falling, Iris realises the one thing more dangerous than forgiving Ronan... ...is wanting him again.

Heartline by Crystara_

Three couples. One campus. An arranged fiancé who can't stop staring. An enemy who wants her-but won't admit it. And a stranger who falls in love before he even knows her name. Heartline isn't soft. It's obsession, tension, and love you'll never forget. "Every heartbeat led me to you !!"

An Education In Restraint by HollynMonroe

Nineteen-year-old Iris Vale returns to Greystone University determined to step out from her father's shadow and finally choose a future of her own. But her plans unravel when she meets Adrian North-a brilliant, composed new adjunct professor, and her father's rising protégé. He's everything she wants to avoid. She's everything he shouldn't want. What begins as harmless tension quickly deepens into something neither of them can name. As lines blur between ethics and emotion, Iris and Adrian must decide how far they're willing to go for something they were never meant to have. An Education in Restraint is a slow-burn, dual POV romance about longing, boundaries, and the quiet danger of wanting what you can't touch.

Kiss Me Like a Lie 💋 by OneLove7860

Forbidden Romance × Dark Academia × Mature A forbidden student-professor romance that blurs every rule and burns every line. Elena Carter never meant to seduce him. But when she walks into Professor Nathaniel Hayes's elite psychology class, wearing danger like perfume and hiding secrets behind a wicked smile, something shifts. He's thirty-six. Brilliant. Composed. Utterly untouchable. She's twenty-one. Defiant. Beautiful. And entirely off-limits. Their eyes lock, and the classroom becomes a battlefield of glances, silences, and things left unsaid. Every lecture becomes a game of tension. Every hallway - a silent dare. But when the rules finally shatter, and desire takes control, the consequences become far more dangerous than either of them imagined. Because obsession doesn't fade. It devours. And someone's about to get burned.
