E-BOOK - The Self-Toxic Altruist 18+ Adult edition

SYNOPSIS

In 2025, Juliana Blum, a senior at OHS—an elite American school in Rio de Janeiro—falls for her English teacher, Paul Lawrence. The feeling takes hold right after his divorce and ignites after an intense erotic dream.

Determined to have him at any cost, Julie enlists the help of her best friends and begins a discreet plan to seduce him—without letting him realize she’s doing it on purpose. But the odds are stacked against them: Paul is her father’s closest friend, school rules strictly forbid any relationship between teachers and students, and he carries a dangerously self-sacrificing sense of responsibility—especially when it comes to protecting the future of the people he cares about.

Still, Julie refuses to give up. She believes that if she can make Paul fall in love with her, he will be willing to risk everything for her. What neither of them knows is that something far more mysterious than attraction exists between them—a phenomenon that interferes with their feelings, their choices, and even the reality they both know.

As Julie’s plan unfolds and the tension between them intensifies, she and Paul find themselves facing an impossible choice: surrender to the desire consuming them… or risk losing everything—including themselves—trying to resist.
