    About this ebook

    What if the crush you develop for your professor is never quite returned?

     

    He is tall, dark and handsome, charming and attentive. He becomes an admirer when he realizes she is his best student.

    She is shy, sheltered, naive, her life circumscribed by tradition, convention, and her parent's wishes.

    They come together discussing "Montaillou," by Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie, a sociological study of French village life in 1294.

    Meanwhile, his huge desk glowers silently, situated oddly in an academic office forming a barricade against anyone daring to step within.

    Feelings ebb and surge across that desk, but nothing quite connects...

    Cynthia Sally Haggard

    Cynthia Sally Haggard was born and reared in Surrey, England. About 30 years ago she surfaced in the United States, inhabiting the Mid-Atlantic region as she wound her way through four careers: violinist, cognitive scientist, medical writer, and novelist. Her first novel, Thwarted Queen, a saga about the Yorks, Lancasters & Nevilles whose family feud inspired Game of Thrones won the 2021 Gold Medal IPPY Award for Audiobook. Her second novel, Farewell My Life, a dark historical about a hidden murderer and how far he will go to control the women around him, won the 2021 Independent Press Award for Women's Fiction. Cynthia graduated with an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University, Cambridge MA, in June 2015. When she’s not annoying everyone by insisting her fictional characters are more real than they are, Cynthia likes to go for long walks, knit something glamorous, cook in her wonderful kitchen, and play the piano.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
