Tropes: One Night Stand, Tutor Romance, Golden Retriever Hero, Opposites Attract, STEM Heroine
The rules were simple: One night. No names. No repeats. Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.
MARGOT has a plan. Graduate top of her class, get into a PhD program, and never let a man distract her from her goals. But one moment of weakness at a party leads to the best night of her life. She left a note and walked away, determined to forget him.
Then she walked into her new job as an athletic tutor. Her student? The one-night stand she swore she’d never see again.
CAM is one bad grade away from losing his scholarship and his shot at the NBA. He needs a miracle. Instead, he gets Margot. She’s brilliant, beautiful, and terrifyingly strict. She also wants nothing to do with him outside the library.
But when they’re alone in the stacks, the line between “tutor” and “trouble” starts to blur.
They’re risking everything—his draft stock, her reputation, and their hearts. But some rules are made to be broken.

Chapter One
The thing about one-night stands is they’re supposed to be forgettable. This one wasn’t.
Cam Ruiz woke up at six a.m. on a Saturday to find himself alone in his dorm bed with a pounding headache and a note on the pillow.
This was a mistake. Let’s both forget it happened. – M
Margot. The girl who’d looked at him like he was a particularly complex math problem. Who’d kissed him like she was proving a point and then completely rewired his understanding of what sex could be.
Now she was gone. And wanted him to forget she’d ever been there.
But the problem—the real, actual problem making his chest feel tight—was that Cam didn’t want to forget.
He could still feel her fingers in his hair. Could still hear the way she’d laughed when he’d said something stupid. Could still see the exact moment her walls had come down.
By Monday morning, a different crisis had emerged. Coach Webb’s academic check-in revealed the truth: D-minus in Economics. F in Statistics. Academic probation. One more failed class and he was ineligible—no basketball, no scholarship, no future.
“We’re assigning you a tutor,” Dr. Chen said. “One of our best. Margot Hale.”
Cam’s brain stuttered. Margot. His Margot. The girl from the party. The girl who’d left him a note.
Was his tutor.
His mandatory, three-times-a-week, last-chance-to-save-his-academic-career tutor.
“You okay?” Dr. Chen asked. “You look pale.”
This was the universe’s idea of a joke. And Wednesday at seven p.m., he was going to have to sit in a room with the one person who’d asked him to forget she existed.
Perfect. Just perfect.
