The only equation he can't solve? His student Hayleigh-and the bone-deep attraction that follows her.
With only one year left of high school, Hayleigh is determined to secure her spot in USYD's prestigious architecture program. But her focus hits a snag when realizing that the mysterious stranger who saved her from harassment at a party also happens to be her new practice teacher.
Unwilling to risk his degree, Alexander pretends their last encounter never happened. The result? Inadvertently igniting resentment in Hayleigh, and kicking off a tumultuous rivalry that gradually evolves into an unexpected, deeply forbidden romance.
