Caught in the Web

by D. D. Wilde

Charlotte Lane, a criminology student who just moved to the city, wants nothing more than to fly under the radar at her new college, and finish her masters without disruption. But when she arrives late to her first class on campus, she quickly realises that might be impossible when a one night stand with an older man, turns out to be her new professor, Atlas Prescott, and a fellow student, Brady Greer, takes an alarming interest in her.

As Charlotte navigates her studies and warring feelings for Atlas and Brady, she spirals down an online rabbit hole of stalker stories and platforms for an assignment tasked to her by her new professor. But things escalate and Charlotte finds herself in her own deadly game of cat and mouse, with her very own stalker.

Excuse me but did you just say he fucks her with a 🔪 handle while he cuts his hand holding the blade 🫣

I’m also not saying I want to be stalked, intimidated, secretly watched and dub-conned by my older, silver fox professor but I’m definitely saying I’d probably be down for it 🥵 *starts go-fund me for student fees*

What you get:

* whoops I slept with my professor age gap (she’s 24, hes 38)
* independent FMC who isn’t a whiny bitch
* blonde frat boy hot guy
* almost a why choose (refer to points 1 and 3) they don’t intermingle
* deep stalker behaviour ++
* dub-con
* fun with 🔫 and 🔪
* small town, academia vibes
* tension, tension and more tension

Part of the Cat & Mouse Anthology 🖤

Darker romance than my usual reads, but loved this stalker romance novella by Dani. Literally read it in one sitting!
