Between the Lines

A steamy and emotionally resonant sapphic academic romance, from bestselling self-published author Haley Cass, where slow-burn chemistry, witty banter, and emotional vulnerability collide as two lonely professors find connection, healing, and love in unexpected places.

When Alyssa Burke relocates to a small upstate New York college for a desperately desired faculty position, she expects uncertainty, but not to be dumped before her first day even begins. Newly single, far from home, and determined to prove she belongs in the ivory tower, Alyssa throws herself into her new life. Enter Whitney: brilliant, intimidating, impeccably composed...and newly divorced. A senior faculty member with a reputation as sharp as her wit, Whitney is everything Alyssa should avoid. But an unexpected encounter on a lonely winter night sparks a connection that neither of them can ignore. What follows is a delicious slow-burn workplace romance, unfolding between stolen glances in hallways, whispered conversations, and the unspoken rules of academic life. As desire deepens and boundaries blur, both women must confront what they’re willing to risk for their reputations, for honesty, and for one another.
