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.

I am only attracted to girls. I realised that since the day I began to feel my sexual organs. But no one must know about it, not when I live in a religious girls' high school. It is considered unholy to love a fellow girl. It is against the school rules, and a rumour about it will result in the expulsion of the involved students. I wouldn't want to be expelled. I fear the humiliation it would bring and the disappointment it might cause my parents. My parents sent me to this religious school for a sort of cleansing from my abominable choice of sexuality. Although they failed to understand I didn't choose to like girls, I do not want to be expelled back to them or see them hurt more than they are hurting. So, I dwelled in secret, surviving the cohabitation of other girls until Uriel came along. I couldn't resist Uriel's sweet sculpted face, endowed body figure, and perfect curvy lips. I couldn't withstand her charm. So, I decided to risk everything and have that 'unholy' relationship with her. For Uriel, I could face the world and fight, but I didn't consider whether Uriel would want the same. After I kissed her and confessed my feelings, I saw maybe, just maybe, I should have remained in the closet and had my secret buried with me. Now she is back, years later...apologising and professing her undying love. Should I believe she reappeared to love me right? Should I embrace my unquenched feelings for her or take on the revenge I've always wanted?
