TRIGGER WARNING:
SMUT DETAILED- If you aren't comfortable please skip this is the only warning.
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 semi 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.

The temptation thesis
When Esmerelda Harlow steps into the musty halls of Winston High as the new history teacher, with a reputation for being a bitter and arrogant professor, whispers of her arrival ripple through the school. Students are wary, until the reckless student Cameron Monroe allows her interest to morph. Cameron, the school's untouchable rebel with a reputation for detention and carelessness, with a game of causing disturbances. To her, Esmerelda Harlow is just another target-a seemingly uptight woman with strict rules and an aura of authority begging to be challenged. But when Cameron tries her usual antics, she's met with something entirely unexpected: resistance. Esmerelda is not an easy mark. In fact, she's more than Cameron bargained for. Cool-headed and emotionless. Every sarcastic remark is met with calm but devastating wit. Every act of defiance earns a punishment so perfectly tailored, it leaves Cameron seething-and strangely fascinated. Esmerelda sees through Cameron's rebellious exterior to the restless mind beneath it. Cameron, for all her bravado, finds herself caught in Esmerelda's gravitational pull-her intelligence, her poise, and her charm. But Esmerelda isn't here to play games. She's here to teach Cameron a lesson she'll never forget, one that will leave them both questioning the boundaries of power, desire, and control. In the end, it's not just Cameron's life that Esmerelda will upend, -it's her own. In a town where reputations are everything, what happens when two unstoppable forces collide in one university?

Loose Threads (wlw)
Some mistakes leave bruises long after the touch is gone. Thalia married young, believing love was supposed to be forever. Now, at nineteen, she's learning what heartbreak really means. A med student surviving on caffeine, deadlines and pure stubbornness falls hard... and breaks even harder. But shattered things can be put back together, if the right hands try. Maybe those hands belong to Artemis Thorne. Artemis Thorne is everything Thalia shouldn't want, cold, unreadable, unpredictable in all the ways people warn you about. A lawyer sharp enough to destroy careers and hearts with the same precision. She built her power brick by brick, wall by wall, until no one could get close enough to hurt her. And then Thalia walked into her office with a broken marriage, trembling voice, and eyes that shouldn't still believe in love. Artemis knows better. Knows she should keep professional distance. Knows this is a girl who needs safety, not temptation. But some things are harder to resist than they should be. Some things feel like a dare. And somewhere between broken vows and whispered confessions, Artemis starts wanting more than she's allowed to touch, something forbidden. Because Thalia isn't just a client. She's the weakness Artemis swore she'd never have again, soft, tempting, and easily to ruin.
Lines we cannot cross
Dana Whitmore came to Columbia for a fresh start. She did not come for Elena Moretti. Elena is the head of her department, the mother of her most talented student, and the kind of woman who commands every room she walks into - including, increasingly, the ones that contain Dana. Both of them are brilliant. Both of them have been broken by people they trusted. Both of them understand perfectly well why this is a terrible idea. Understanding has never stopped anyone. What begins as professional friction slowly becomes something neither of them has a name for - built in stolen glances, charged silences, and conversations that say everything except what they actually mean. Some lines exist to be respected. Others exist to remind us exactly how much we want to cross them.Complete

The new lecturer for Sienna's favourite subject-and a woman who carries authority like a second skin. Every glance is deliberate, every word precise, every presence impossible to ignore. They are opposites: ocean and earth. But when they collide... nothing stays untouched. Not even their past. //slow burn//age difference//ice skating// profxstudent//![Wanting Her [18 +] [WLW]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/409247574-256-k115610.jpg)
