history of a heartbreaker
new divorcée + obsessed younger man = a scandal in the making
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes a brand-new standalone raunch-com in the Academic Affairs series…and spring semester has indeed sprung…
All newly divorced Sloane Saint James wants is a post-divorce ho phase. Enter West Cabot Hope, heir to a greeting card empire, and President and Chairman of the I’m Obsessed with Sloane fanclub. He’ll happily help Sloane with her ho-ing needs, just so long as she goes on three dates with him in exchange. Never mind that little matter of him being almost a decade younger…or being secretly in love with her for his entire adult life.
Welcome back to Mount Astra, Kansas, where everything looks like a light academia moodboard, the horniness is cozy and the coziness is horny—and where you can usually find Leo Saint James leaning idly against a doorway in a tuxedo.

“...unashamed, clever and rollicking sexy fun with an unforgettable cast...”
“Praise kinks, student-professor scenarios and enough steam for a DIY facial: it’s all here in this size-inclusive bisexual rom-com following a sexy single dad professor and a fiery law school grad.”
