What Age Is Jas In 'The Discomfort Of Evening'?

Cassidy Knowles—the daughter of a maid—loved her half-sister’s boyfriend, Ashton Pierce, in silence. A love she never dared confess. A hope she never allowed to breathe.

Cast out and disowned by the very family she had spent her life trying to please. What none of them knew was that she left carrying Ashton Pierce’s child. Six years later, Cassidy returns—not as the disgraced girl they threw away, but as the mysterious, untouchable CEO of the empire her collapsing family now desperately needs. And Ashton?

Yet what happens when she uncovers the truth—that the tragedy six years ago was no accident, but a scheme… orchestrated by Ashton himself? Will she finally walk away—or remain Bound by a Broken Night?

Lena thought graduate school would be about focus, discipline, and finally proving to herself that she belonged in the world of academics. Books, research, and long nights in the library—that was the plan. Romance had no place in it. Especially not with the one man who should have been completely off-limits. Professor Jace Carrington is everything Lena was warned about. Brilliant. Confident. Dangerous in his quiet control. His lectures command attention, his presence silences a room, and when his eyes find hers across the crowded lecture hall, she feels both seen and undone. He is a man who draws lines with precision—and a man who knows exactly how to make someone want to cross them. What begins as a spark of curiosity turns into stolen glances, late-night office hours, and conversations that blur the line between mentorship and something far more intimate. Jace’s rules are simple: no one can know, and she always has a choice. But rules are easy to write and far harder to follow. The deeper Lena falls, the more she realizes this isn’t just attraction—it’s obsession, it’s surrender, and it’s freedom all at once. Secrets, however, have a way of surfacing, and on a campus where whispers spread like wildfire, forbidden love can burn everything in its path. Lessons After Dark is a steamy, character-driven romance filled with power, temptation, and the dangerous pull of a secret relationship. For readers who crave tension, intimacy, and the thrill of crossing every line you were told not to, this story will keep you turning pages long after the lights go out.
