Step-Mom’s Study

📚 Free with Kindle Unlimited

She was supposed to help me graduate. Instead, she taught me things no textbook covers.

Sophie Bennett is twenty-one, failing every class, and running out of excuses. When her dad leaves for a three-month work contract overseas, he puts his wife in charge of Sophie’s education — and Claire Bennett is not the kind of woman who accepts failure.

Claire is forty-four, a college professor with a red pen and zero tolerance for wasted potential. She’s precise. She’s demanding. She says “good girl” in a voice that makes Sophie forget her own name. And she has a locked briefcase that contains things no syllabus has ever covered.

What starts as discipline becomes desire. What starts as correction becomes confession. Late-night study sessions turn into something neither of them can stop — or wants to. Every red mark on Sophie’s papers becomes a mark on her skin. Every “focus, Sophie” becomes foreplay. And with Sophie’s dad a phone call away, the secret between them grows heavier with every locked door.

But Claire has been hiding for twenty years — from the woman she loved in grad school, from the truth about who she is, from a marriage that was never real. Sophie is the first person who makes her want to stop hiding. And Sophie has never had anyone believe in her the way Claire does — with a ferocity that rewrites everything she thought she knew about herself.

When the grades come in and the walls come down, they’ll have to choose: the safe life, or the real one.

They choose real.
