He came to teach English. He didn't expect to become fluent in desire. When Thomas Wright lands in Shanghai for his first teaching job, he's bracing for culture shock, not forbidden attraction. Navigating language, longing, and unspoken rules, he finds himself drawn into a seductive triangle with two enigmatic students, each more dangerous and irresistible than the last. Fluent is a slow-burn romance charged with cross-cultural tension, secrets, and the kind of chemistry that doesn't need translation.
