David_Zino
Lessons in Love is a passionate and poignant contemporary romance that explores the forbidden relationship between a respected university professor and his brilliant but troubled student. The story follows James Calloway, a seasoned and intellectual professor at Westbridge University, whose world is turned upside down when he meets Lily Carter, a gifted but disillusioned student who challenges him in ways he never anticipated. At first, their connection seems purely academic—an exchange of ideas in the classroom and debates that push the boundaries of intellectual thought. But beneath the surface, a deeper, undeniable attraction begins to grow between them. As their bond deepens, they struggle with the consequences of their feelings—both for each other and the ethical boundaries of their professional roles. Their love is a dangerous game—one that could destroy both of their careers and reputations. But despite the risks, they can’t seem to stay apart. What follows is a turbulent journey through secrecy, passion, betrayal, and the fight for their love in a world that demands conformity. As they face the mounting pressure of their forbidden love affair being exposed, James and Lily must navigate the complexities of loyalty, trust, and self-identity while confronting the harsh realities of academia, power dynamics, and the line between right and wrong. Lessons in Love is a story of defying societal expectations, challenging one's own boundaries, and the power of love to change lives in the most unexpected ways.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
