This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.
*Trigger/Content Warning*
This story is a heartfelt, swoon-worthy romance with well-deserved dashes of spice, but it does touch on sensitive topics such as emotional manipulation, physical abuse, domestic violence, and death in the characters’ backstories. While these themes are handled with care and do not overshadow the love story, I want readers to feel safe and prepared as they dive into Kerry and Victor’s journey.

Author’s Note
There’s no perfect syllabus for life. There isn’t a foolproof plan that guarantees everything will go smoothly. Kerry Kind and Victor Grimes aren’t perfect, and they don’t always get it right. But that’s what makes them real. That’s the beauty of being human. They’re figuring life out as they go, making mistakes, learning, and trying their best, just like the rest of us.
This story is for anyone who has ever felt uncertain about their future, had to start over, or still believes in love, even when it’s complicated, confusing, and arrives when you least expect it. Their journey is filled with laughter, fiery banter, heat, and those quiet, intimate moments that remind us why love, in all its forms, is worth embracing.
I hope as you read, you see parts of yourself in Kerry and Victor—their fears, their doubts, their hopes, their dreams, and their determination to carve out something beautiful in a world that doesn’t always make it easy.
And more than anything, I hope The Love Syllabus reminds you that even when life doesn’t go according to plan, you’re still resilient, still deserving, and still worthy of a love that feels like home.
