Yes, Ma'am

Annotation

Yes, Ma’am is a slow-burn sapphic academic romance that begins with tequila, ends in trouble, and simmers with undeniable chemistry in between. Annabeth Thompson is a tightly-wound literature professor who color-codes her spring break and prefers books over people. But one wild night out and a tequila-fueled lapse in judgment leaves her tangled in sheets with a dangerously attractive stranger, who turns out to be none other than Dr. Maya Patel, the new hire in the psychology department. Now, stuck in the same university, the same office building, and the same student advisor group, Annabeth must face her one-night stand-turned-colleague as she tries to balance professionalism with an escalating attraction that’s anything but appropriate. Maya isn’t just confident, she’s infuriating, magnetic, and reads Annabeth like one of her case studies. What starts as witty banter and stolen glances slowly unravels into something real, raw, and terrifying. But secrets, academic politics, and reputations threaten to destroy whatever fragile thing is building between them. Messy, emotional, and wickedly sharp, Yes, Ma’am is a queer love story about learning to be vulnerable, the rules we break for the people we can’t forget, and the chaos of falling for someone who challenges everything you thought you knew.
