Whoever said the truth will set you free is lying. The truth won’t set us free. It will destroy us.

She’s the girl I should avoid.
The girl who’s too much trouble.
The girl with a past.
The girl people whisper about behind her back.

I can’t stop thinking about her.
Wanting her.
But I’m a professor and she’s a student.
So I stay away.

For two years I’ve watched her.
But now she has set her sights on my brother.
I can’t allow that.

I’ll do anything to keep her away from him.
Even if that means taking his place.
If anyone will end up in her bed, it will be me.
I just hope it won’t destroy us both.

Trigger warning. Please do not read past this point if you do not wish to see the trigger information.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is not an easy, straight forward read. It is deep, full of angst and turmoil, pain and heartbreak, uncertainty and self-doubt. It will break you down, bind you up in every emotion known to man and pull you along on a tsunami of feeling, right before it builds you up again, piece by piece, filling you with hope, romance, familial love and ultimately self-love." - Emerald Book Reviews ☆☆☆☆☆

"I love forbidden romance novels, specially student/teacher. So, that was what grabbed my attention first on this one. But as I started reading I knew it was more than a forbidden romance. It was a lesson on how we need to let go of the past to welcome the future." - Goodreads Review ☆☆☆☆☆

"I laughed and cried throughout this story from the first page to the last and loved every minute of it. Now I can't wait to read the first two books." - Meli's Books and Coffee ☆☆☆☆☆

From the Author

It took me two years to write this book. It had not been my original intention to tell Becca's story just yet. But she hunted me down and cornered until I sat at my desk and allowed her to tell her truth.

This was not an easy book to write. I shed many tears over it and had to walk away to deal with the mounting anxiety unaccountable times.

But writing her story was also cathartic and freeing.

I could not have told Becca's story without the help of dozens of mental health professionals. I owe all of you my gratitude. During these two years, I spoke with, and interviewed psychologists, therapists, social workers, psychology professors, and real life people who lived through the same hardships that Becca did. I'll forever be grateful for their candor, for letting me into their lives and talk about something that's never easy.

I also want to thank the ladies at RAINN for taking my calls and answering my many questions. I will donate a portion of the sales of this book to RAINN.ORG.

I've read many books in my search for information. I'll list them at the end as I believe that they may benefit many people.

Finally, in name of plot, I took some liberties with this story. This is fiction after all, even if I based it on some very real events. It takes time and courage to face one's fears and overcome them. I hope that in sharing Becca's story we all can learn something that moves us forward.

Wow! I really like this book! Book 3 was totally different from the other two but really really nice. Great work! Erica I love this book so much! I don’t want to spoil anything but, Becca and Dylan! Wow! Seeing River again was awesome. Many emotions, sadness, happiness. Dylan is the perfect Gentleman 💕 I love him. Becca is a Badass, she’s so strong and so sweet at the same time. I love Tommy, I want a book about Tommy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and emotional.

This is my second time reading this book but my first time reviewing it. This was a great slow burn with with student / teacher / therapist themes. I really found it interesting though I do wish we got more of Dylan’s POV.

There are plenty of emotional triggers so if your sensitive to some things check the trigger warnings but if you can get through it, it’s worth it.

Don’t expect high steam. In face I think there’s only one steamy scene and while it’s not closed door, it’s not exactly graphic.

It’s a beautiful story I highly recommend.

Not at all what I was thinking this book was going to be about. At the beginning thought ok this will be good just going kinda slow. But never really got there for me. It's cute and hard moments. Dylan not in it as much as you think, jumps to fast. And if you're thinking you get a lot of love scenes nope like one and barely there.

So emotional!!! I loved this book from the very beginning. Erica really sucks you in and keeps you on your toes. Early on I figured out Dylan was who she was speaking with the whole time. I’m surprised it took them as long given voices and all. They are a great couple. I love how he got her to open up and a except new things esp love. They are adorable together!! Amazing how they both in round about way’s experienced similar situations but with different out comes. 5 star excellent read!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Becca is such a strong woman. So much trauma and pain in her past, that watching her heal and find love is a beautiful journey. Forgiveness is so powerful. For others and for self.

I loved seeing the transformation in Dylan’s relationship with her. He shows that first impressions are not always right, and getting to know someone is worth the work put into it.

As always, River is amazing and caring. Everyone should have a friend like her. It is good to see the bright futures they will have.

There are some predictable surprises. But they move the story along. A good book full of tears and laughs.

Because of Logan and Because of Liam were a cut above, detailed and and entertaining but Because of Dylan is indescribable!!! The story was riveting and sucked you in to the point of not wanting to stop reading until the end.

These are the dirt books I have read by this author but they won' t be the last. Well worth the investment in the time. Great job!!!!

I am speechless. This book ripped me apart and put me back together again. It makes you think of how this story although fiction is actually real in some ways. People go through this everyday. It's heartbreaking but by the end of the book you have hope that these people can and will get through it. We all need a little hope and positivity.

This book took me on such an emotional rollercoaster. I wanted Becca to find her happiness so much!! Both Becca and Dylan are absolutely amazing and you can’t help but love them. I can tell how much went into planning this book and making sure Becca’s story of her past trauma she suffered and her overcoming it to become a stronger woman was written with such care. Definitely a book worth reading…just make sure you have some tissues handy.

This is without a doubt a 5🌟 read. Erica did wonders in this book. She captured the pain of trauma and the whole healing process. She understood no one heals straight away and that it takes time.
This book knocked me emotionally, a few similar aspects from when I was a child. I've cried a fair amount this year with books but this one beat the rest.
Now to wipe those tears away and give a huge massive shout out to Erica! She is incredible. If you haven't read any of her books definitely do.
Erica, while I hurt a little reading this you also managed to bring a little peace, having known you did your research and talked to others will make those with a similar background not feel alone.

Don’t take this the wrong way… but I hate it… I hate it like all my favorite books, because I cried sooooo much! And I laughed! And I hoped! And I was angry knowing that this might be a true story cause the world is not pretty and kind and fair. Monsters are real. I’m afraid of spiders but they have nothing on humain kind.
I love this book. Really really really. I love the hole series and I’m glad I read them in order. It has given me time (a week at best) to prepare myself.

Thank you.

(And I wondered when they’re going to figure it out and how it’ll go.)

This is the first time I have read books from this author. I read the entire series and they got better with each one. Because of Dylan was by far the stand out although all 3 were excellent. An emotional story that drew you in and saw you care about the characters where you laughed, cried and were invested in their journey. Highly recommend

If you haven’t already read the other two books don’t worry, you can still read this!
The story of Becca and Dylan is kismet. So many signs that they are on the right path but so many personal hurdles to work through.
It was sweet and sad but it also had a story beyond two people falling in love.
