About this listen

A Love That Breaks All the Rules.

Rivergate College teaching assistant Rebecca Tinselman has spent years building a promising academic career—grading papers, attending endless faculty meetings, and keeping her personal life neatly tucked away.

But when athlete Paul Powell steps into her classroom with his undeniable intensity, everything changes.

Paul is more than just a football player—he’s brilliant, ambitious, and utterly fixated on Rebecca. When he asks for private tutoring, their evening study session ignites an attraction neither of them can deny. As lines blur and desires take control, Rebecca knows she’s playing with fire and risking her career. But Paul isn’t just any student. He’s on the brink of something life-changing, beyond the scope of a college campus—and he’s willing to bet everything on his dream.

With the weight of their forbidden entanglement pressing down on her, Rebecca faces an impossible choice: walk away from the only person who ignites her mind and soul or give in to Paul as he shatters every boundary in his goal to blaze a path that might take him away from Rivergate—and away from Rebecca—forever.

The Theory of Us is a novella that can be read or listened to in 2-4 sittings
