The Girl Assigned to Fix His Grades
Eleanor Wright transfers into a public university with one rule: stay invisible.
New campus, new hostel, clean record. She plans to graduate quietly and never let anyone close enough to see what still haunts her.
That plan dies the moment the department assigns her to tutor Xander Blackwood.
Campus football star. Academic probation case. Beautiful, reckless, and seconds away from losing his place on the team. Xander doesn’t believe in tutors—or rules. He believes in charm, pressure, and getting what he wants.
Eleanor is supposed to fix his grades.
Nothing more. Nothing personal.
But tutoring turns into late-night study sessions in empty lecture halls, arguments that burn too hot, and a tension that feels dangerously intimate. Eleanor sees past Xander’s reputation to the anger and family pressure eating him alive. Xander sees past her careful smiles to a girl who flinches at darkness and never explains why.
The rules are clear:
No distractions
No feelings
No crossing the line
They break the rules slowly.
Then they shatter them.
As gossip spreads, departments begin to watch, and one mistake threatens to destroy Eleanor’s future, desire becomes a liability—and love becomes a risk neither of them can afford.
He was her academic assignment.
She was his weakness.
And by the time the truth surfaces, walking away may cost them everything.
A dark, slow-burn college romance filled with forbidden tension, emotional trauma, explicit desire, and consequences that don’t disappear when the semester ends.
