One day, maybe you’ll find someone completely obsessed with you.
Hopefully he hasn’t been waiting several lifetimes for you to come back.
Professor Jasper Hawthorne has. 🖤
For Yelena, everything between them feels new.
The attraction.
The questions.
The way he watches her.
The impossible feeling that she knows him even when she knows she doesn’t.
For Hawthorne?
None of this is new.
And that changes the meaning behind every glance, every protective instinct, and every moment he struggles to keep his distance from her.
These Lessons Are Merciless is for readers who want their fantasy romance filled with yearning, reincarnated soulmates, forbidden professor/student tension, obsessive devotion, protective heroes, ancient bloodlines, supernatural danger, dark academia atmosphere, and love that refuses to disappear simply because one person forgot it existed.
She thinks she’s falling in love.
He’s been in love all along.
Two days until release.
