Manhattan Secret by V. Theia

We don’t get to choose who we fall in love with.
My parents are testament to that.
I fell for my teacher…I know you’re shocked, aren’t you?
Not really.
So what if I’m seven years younger than her.
I want her.
This heat between us can’t be ignored.
“Now we share a secret, me and the little mouse.
Whether she likes it or not.”
She’s the poster girl for all things virtuous
and I’m the school genius who can’t resist the illicit pull
to the woman who is meant for me.
There’s a saying ‘you can’t always have what you see’
It’s a rule I’ve never believed in.
I’m Lachlan Fierro, I do what I want because I can.
I’m not a bad guy, ask anyone.
But I believe rules are for other people.
The moment I see her I know she’ll be mine.
I’ll break the rule book for her.
Delaney isn’t to blame.
My principled girl tries to do the right thing…my power of persuasion is just stronger than her willpower.
We’re taboo and forbidden. Unthinkable. And Perfect.
This secret we have between us becomes intoxicating.
But there’s always someone … something lurking to whisper our secrets.
