I Just Don't Know You Yet
TRIGGER WARNING: Alcohol SMUT DETAILED- If you aren't comfortable please skip this is the only warning. Any other triggers you may think is in the book, i will add or continue as i go! Some people are all wrong for you on paper, and perfect in every way that matters. *Professor Catherine Whitmore has spent her entire life doing what was expected of her. The right schools. The right career. The right relationship, until it shattered quietly, leaving her guarded and certain she can read people better than she actually can. At 38, she doesn't do reckless. She doesn't do vulnerable. And she certainly doesn't do students. *Rowan Sinclair learned early that love means showing up, even when it's hard. After losing her mother at thirteen and watching her father struggle through grief, she became the steady one, raising her younger siblings, holding her family together. At 21, she's at Greystone University trying to build a life that's finally her own. She's been in love once before, but never like this. Never with someone who makes her feel seen and completely terrified at the same time. *When Rowan walks into Catherine's literature class, something shifts. Rowan sees through every wall Catherine has built- observant where Catherine is guarded, patient where Catherine is controlled, soft where Catherine is sharp. And Catherine? She's starting to realize Rowan isn't infatuated, isn't temporary, isn't another counterfeit. What starts as academic tension becomes something neither of them can ignore. But loving each other means risking everything- Catherine's career, her family's legacy, and the control she's fought so hard to maintain. A slow-burn, forbidden romance about healing, trust, and learning that love isn't about being smart enough to avoid pain- it's about being brave enough to try again.
Our Shared Solitude
'Solitude' Philosopher Philip Koch defined it as "A stretch of experience disengaged from other people in perception, thought, emotion, and action" Solitude is an experience that can exist regardless of physical location, defined by the "absence" of other people, internally otherlessness, a spiritual/philosophical concept regarding the dissolution of self and a literary/existential term for extreme isolation. At forty-five, Professor Loredana Dove has built her life on control. Keeping her colleagues at arm's length and her students at a distance. At home, her marriage to an absent, quarrelsome wife is crumbling, leaving her to raise their five year old daughter in quiet isolation. She has convinced herself she needs nothing more until Romina Maple crashes into her classroom. Nineteen smart, and reckless, Romina is the youngest in her year. To her classmates she's the loud, infuriating party girl; to herself, she's struggling with mental health, taking care of her three year old brother and the only responsible adult in a house run by aging grandparents, her defiance masks hunger, her insolence disguises fear. Their lives should never touch. Yet hunger recognizes hunger. What begins as irritation morphs into fascination, into a closeness neither woman knows how to resist. Boundaries blur. Rules splinter. And both must face the truth: some desires do not starve quietly, and some silences can undo a lifetime of control. Our Shared Solitude is a story of two women who should have walked away yet found themselves consumed by the one thing they were never meant to want.
Please, Ms. Dover
Professor x Student | WLW It wasn't one moment that pulled them apart, but a quiet accumulation of almosts, of missed chances, of words that never found their way out. Nearly a year passes before Lyn and Claire see each other again. A year spent learning how to carry an absence that never truly felt like one. A year of pretending that distance could soften something that, in truth, only settled deeper under the surface. And now, standing here again, it doesn't feel like a fresh start. It feels like something unfinished asking to be answered. Not about what happened before. Not about who was right or wrong. But about what still lingers between them, and whether they're brave enough to face it this time, without turning away.
