Aurelia Avers was your typical girl. Well, maybe a tad bit more chatty and annoying than usual, or maybe a tad bit more persistent and loud and maybe-no, surely a hopeless romantic. But who could blame a girl who's just enjoying her youth?
and then there's Cassian Ashbourne, Calm, collected, top of his class, sociable and mature. yet, there was something about him-the way he holds people at arm's length and never allows them to know him beyond the surface.

She knows that love is for the naïve and romance is for the delusional. Her parents taught her that.

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.

What happens when an overthinking college student falls in love? Illijas Illiyas has one goal-get through college with decent grades and as little drama as possible. He prefers to keep to himself, avoiding unnecessary attachments that might complicate his life. But fate has other plans. Despite his efforts to stay detached, Illiyas finds himself pulled into friendships, conflicts, and, most unexpectedly, love. Torn between his rational mind and the emotions he can't ignore, he struggles to balance academics, friendships, and his growing feelings. The more he tries to control his life, the more unpredictable it becomes. As he navigates the pressures of young adulthood, Illiyas comes face-to-face with the raw, imperfect side of love-one that doesn't follow the rules of fairy tales. Will he embrace the messy, beautiful chaos of real emotions, or will his fears hold him back from what he truly desires?![Off Limits [EDITING ON PROGRESS]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/224038532-256-k544657.jpg)
