Therapist. Client. Catastrophic chemistry. Dr. Nicola Forbes has spent years building a life defined by boundaries—clinical, emotional, ethical. But when Avery Hall, a rising Hollywood star, walks into her therapy office, Nic feels something she hasn’t in years: want. Avery is bold, brazen, and struggling under the weight of queer fame. Nic is grieving her wife, hiding behind professionalism, and failing—spectacularly—not to fall for her client. What begins with guarded glances and charged conversations becomes a line-crossing affair neither woman can walk away from. Nic knows the consequences. Loving Avery could cost her her license, her reputation, everything she’s built. But not loving her might be the greater loss. Love Me Like You Shouldn’t is a forbidden sapphic romance about desire, fame, and the kind of love that’s absolutely, dangerously worth it.
