"I'm hurt after the crash, but Claude makes it better."

After a crash, smooth and handsome airline pilot James swears off love and sex -- until his friend Alissa introduces him to a bearded, chubby, shy, and very lumberjack-handsome professor, who's been hurt by a crash of his own.

"Can I love a student again?"

Professor Claude wanted love and acceptance after growing up as a pockmarked fat kid, but a student of his took advantage of him and lured him into a blackmail scheme. Claude doesn't want to love again, until a handsome airline pilot steps in to show him the comfort of romance.

James and Claude bicker in the classroom, but they heal each other's wounds in love.

The Pilot and the Professor is a standalone gay romance with a feel-good HEA.
