When my math tutor made me sign a contract promising I wouldn’t fall in love with him, I thought he was joking.
He wasn’t.
Yes, Carter Hastings is the prince of Eden Falls Academy—one of the most beautiful humans on earth—and boy, does he know it.
But I can use this to my advantage.
Since I basically signed a paper saying I’d never catch feelings for him, it makes my plan even more perfect.
So I offer him a deal: a fake relationship.
The arrangement helps Carter get revenge on his ex and helps me hide the fact that I’m not smart enough to be at this prestigious school. Win-win.
Only, as we pretend to be in a relationship, I find out he’s different from what I expected.
He’s better. So much better.
And when he kissed me last night, I just wanted it to be real.
But as I’m searching for a loophole in that stupid contract I signed, a huge family secret comes to light and all the sparks I started feeling for my fake boyfriend suddenly become forbidden.
I know I should walk away from him. That I should go back to keeping our tutoring sessions strictly professional…
But I don’t want to.
