Private Lessons

Ari has one goal for senior year: stay invisible, graduate, and get as far away from this town as possible. She hides behind oversized hoodies and a stack of textbooks, working late shifts at the library to save every penny. She's the girl nobody notices-and that's exactly how she likes it. But when her savings take a hit, she's forced to monetize the one thing she's better at than anyone else: solving the equations everyone else fails.

Jeon Jungkook is the king of the school, but not the kind you want to take home to your parents. He's a high-stakes playboy who treats hearts like a game and rules like a challenge. To him, the world is one big party, and his family's wealth is the guest list. He's spent years making Ari's life a headache, mocking her "nerd" status from the comfort of his leather-seated sports car.
The two of them are like oil and water-until Jungkook's reckless lifestyle finally catches up to him. Facing a total academic blackout and an ultimatum from his father that could cost him his inheritance, he's forced to crawl to the one person he's spent years tormenting.

Now, Ari is in charge of his future. She's determined to keep it strictly professional, but Jungkook has never met a girl he couldn't charm. As the late-night study sessions turn into something more, Ari has to wonder: is he actually changing, or is she just his next "private lesson" in heartbreak?
