Quiet Temptation

In the humid, fluorescent-lit classrooms of Wuhan, American English teacher Adam Shepherd is barely surviving - failing at Mandarin, drowning in ungraded papers, and sleeping alone in a room that smells like instant noodles and regret.Then Yue appears.Quiet, brilliant, and impossibly composed, the graduate student offers to trade Mandarin lessons for American idioms. Their sessions at the Mingzhu tea house quickly stop being about language. Knees touch under the table. Tones become charged. The word for 'kiss' refuses to leave his mouth the same way twice.Yue already has a girlfriend.Lian is sharp, competitive, and protective - a force who runs debate tournaments and does not share easily. When the three of them begin meeting together, the careful distance Adam has maintained collapses. What follows is a slow, deliberate unraveling: stolen glances, whispered corrections, a balcony that should have stayed private, a rain-soaked tent in the Rockies, and a cliff house on the Pacific where every boundary is finally named.Quiet Temptation is an explicit erotic romance about language as intimacy, the terror of being truly seen, and the messy, hungry geometry of three people who refuse to choose. Perfect for readers who love polyamorous romance, bisexual women, cross-cultural desire, student-teacher heat (adult graduate level), and scorching MFF scenes that never apologize for how much they want.
