Tutoring The Enemy

She has everything to lose. He has nothing that's actually his.

Elena Williams didn't come to Blackwell Academy to make friends, fall in love, or get tangled up with the boy whose family name is carved into half the buildings. She came to keep her scholarship, prove she belongs, and get out intact.

Then the headmaster gives her no choice.

Tutor Alexander Blackwood - lacrosse captain, senator's son, golden boy - or lose everything she's fought for. Alexander agrees on one condition: absolute secrecy. Being seen with a tutor would shatter his image. Being seen with the scholarship girl could ruin them both.

What starts as reluctant sessions in an empty chemistry lab becomes something neither of them planned for. Stolen glances over textbooks. Honest conversations in dark corridors. The slow, dangerous realization that the person who sees you most clearly is the one you're supposed to pretend you don't know.

But Blackwell doesn't forgive mistakes. And falling for Alexander Blackwood isn't just complicated -

It's a threat to everything Elena has ever worked for.

Some equations take longer to solve.
That doesn't mean they can't be.
