Professor/Student Romance

A romance where a teacher and their student fall for each other, often set on a college campus with the tension of forbidden desire and the power imbalance that comes with the classroom dynamic.

Readers are drawn to the charged push-pull of authority and taboo, where every stolen glance and whispered line of dialogue carries risk, and the climax often involves breaking rules for a love that feels worth the fall.
