Step-Mom's Study

Twenty-one-year-old Sophie is failing her college classes and drowning in a life with no direction. When her father leaves the country for three months, she is left in the sprawling Connecticut suburbs with her strict, fiercely composed stepmother, Claire.

Claire is a university professor who believes in discipline, structure, and doing things properly. Appalled by Sophie’s transcripts, Claire takes over her education. But the grueling 8 a.m. study sessions, the red-ink corrections, and the heavy weight of Claire’s undivided attention soon blur the lines between academic rigor and forbidden desire.

Sophie wants to be a good girl. She wants to earn the praise of the only woman who has ever made her want to try. And Claire is about to discover that the only thing more dangerous than losing her perfect composure is finally giving her stepdaughter exactly what she needs.

Step-Mom's Study is a high-heat (5/5) sapphic romance featuring a significant age gap, authority figure dynamics, praise kink, and a guaranteed HEA.
