Can The Posh Student Win The Uptight Professor? Helen Swift is almost fifty and tired of her day job as a professor at Oxford University. She prefers to write cozy mysteries under a well-hidden pen name in her Cotswolds cottage. She's also far too busy to even consider romance. Posh girl, Victoria 'Rory' Carlisle, is over the moon when she snags Helen as her DPhil supervisor, and not only because of Professor Swift's academic prowess. Rory takes an instant shine to Helen, who is far from charmed by her advances. Can Rory make a dent in the wall that Helen has built around herself? And does Helen even have the time for such an inappropriate dalliance? Best-selling lesbian fiction author Harper Bliss is back with one of her trademark age-gap romances! It's part of The Village Romance series which features books by lesfic favourites T.B. Markinson (A Shot at Love), and Clare Lydon (A Taste of Love). One English village, three charming romances.

Fourteen-year-old Prue and her sister Grace have been educated at home by their controlling, super-strict father all their lives. Forced to wear Mum's odd hand-made garments and forbidden from reading teenage magazines, they know they're very different to 'normal' girls - but when Dad has a stroke and ends up in hospital, unable to move or speak, Prue suddenly discovers what it's like to have a little freedom. Sent to a real school for the first time, Prue struggles to fit in. The only person she can talk to is her kindly, young - and handsome - art teacher, Rax. They quickly bond, and Prue feels more and more drawn to him. As her feelings grow stronger, she begins to realise that he might feel the same way about her. But nothing could ever happen between them - could it?

Sometimes what’s forbidden can’t be ignored… ROSE: Rasheed is everything I could ever want in a man. He’s charming, intelligent, shares my passion for music, and has fathomless eyes that seem to look right into the depths of my soul. Too bad he’s also my university professor. A relationship between us is strictly prohibited, so I’ll just have to somehow ignore the way my heart hammers whenever he’s near. RASHEED: Rose entices me like no one else. Her sweet, shy spirit and sharp, creative mind almost make me forget that being with her is wrong—even though it feels so right. But when she and I get paired on a dance project, I struggle to find a balance between what I deeply desire and what is forbidden. Even one sweet kiss with Rose could destroy my career, but how can I keep my distance from her when fate seems to be pulling us together? If you enjoy clean & wholesome romances that bring back that "first love feel" then you'll adore this sweet teacher-student romance. A Lesson in Love is a standalone.
