Forbidden: Student teacher romance
Amelia Gates - 2018
Right now, I want her. What I didn’t expect was that right now, would turn into forever. That my want for her would develop into an obsession. There’s only one problem. There is a secret in my house, and when you’re dealing with a Turner, secrets can be devastating. My father may be a Turner, but…SO…AM…I. If there is one thing we know how to do, it’s get what we want. This time, unfortunately, what he wants and what I want are at odds with each other. Kim Loving him is the easiest thing I’ve ever done. Behind closed doors. Where no one can see us. In the open. When no one’s watching. Our love is the biggest secret I’ve ever had to keep. The darkest, most forbidden, feeling I’ve ever had to digest. But secrets do what secrets never should. They break barricades of silence and destroy everything on their way into the limelight. And love? Love does what love should. It muscles up and fights, holds on for dear life, only giving up when strength and hope and perseverance have dimmed to complete darkness. I am his teacher. He is my student. Taboo, I know. But in this teacher student romance, the roles have been reversed. There is nothing I can teach Zayne Turner that he doesn’t already know… and that includes me.
