A quiet student with a dangerous obsession. A beloved teacher with a reckless curiosity. A dark gay M/M thriller that lingers like a bruise you can't stop touching.
Liam is just trying to finish high school and keep his secrets to himself. Mr. Hilton, his English teacher, is everything Liam shouldn't want—straight, married, and way off-limits—but possibly...interested. What starts as an innocent crush blurs into something more real, more intense, and more terrifying than either of them can control.
Because some lines should not be crossed. Some lessons can't be unlearned. And some desires come at a terrible price.
The Teacher Inside Me is an emotionally charged LGBT coming-of-age story about longing, power, and the darkness within us all.
Perfect for fans of:
– dark academia tangled with forbidden gay desire
– age-gap erotic obsession with psychological depth
– m/m dark romance with morally messy characters
– literary queer fiction for adults
– vintage pulp paperbacks
– genre storytelling blended with personal experience
– stories about gay men told from a gay male perspective
It'll get inside you.
A high school track athlete with a perverse hobby. A college heartthrob with a secret life. A dark gay M/M thriller that will stop at nothing until everyone gets exposed.
Hunter seems to have it all: brains, biceps, and a bright future beyond the halls of his oppressive high school. He also has a private obsession that he knows is wrong: secretly recording his older brother, Nash, with a spy cam. It starts as a thrill and morphs into a power trip. But one day, the video footage reveals something so disturbing that it cracks Hunter’s life straight down the middle.
Now he’s trapped in a nightmare where desire leaves fingerprints, loyalty pulls triggers, and the brother he thought he knew might be the most dangerous person in the room. To survive what he’s uncovered, Hunter turns to his best friend, Oscar, who may also be the man Hunter never knew he needed.
When the family you’re born into puts you at risk, the family you choose may be the only thing that keeps you alive.
Hunter’s Hidden Camera is an emotionally charged LGBT coming-of-age psychological thriller about hunger, shame, and the brutal cost of exposure.
Smile for the camera.
