Two polar opposites. One impossible physics class. A whole lotta attraction.

I have no sympathy for slackers like Josh Pickett, who think that just because theyre athletes they can skate by and leave the academic heavy-lifting to nerds like me. And especially not slackers whove already left me hanging on a class project once before, forcing me to finish it solo. Any guesses who that mightve been?

Nope. Not one ounce of sympathy.

So when Im assigned to tutor him in physics, I tell him flat out Im not gonna go easy on him.

I wont be swayed by his ridiculously sexy dimpled smile. Or the fact that he actually shows up for our sessions.

Him bringing me my favorite burger every time? Irrelevant.

And Im definitely ignoring the funny feeling I get in my stomach when he tells me hes bi.

Im learning firsthand about gravitational attraction—and how impossible it is to resist.

But even though theres no equation where this adds up to anything but heartbreak Guess whos failing this particular test?

This 25k novella features: a grumpy physics tutor, his surprisingly sweet jock, snowball fights, a scraggly Christmas tree, a fireplace that definitely works, and a few of your favorite EA guys before they got their HEAs. Not your typical holiday romance, just two college guys falling in love during the winter time. Expanded and revised from a short story previously released as part of a promotional giveaway.

Two strangers. One secret encounter. A whole lotta forbidden chemistry.

It was supposed to be an anonymous thrill, fueled by raw desire.

No strings, just the escape we both craved.

The last thing I need is complications, especially from a casual hookup. That was the plan.

Except now, he's not just some guy from a night I can't forget. He's in front of my class…teaching it. Turns out life has some unexpected lessons in store for me, and my professor is holding the syllabus.

Suddenly, what was supposed to be simple is anything but.

Our connection is too intense, and the stakes are way too high—his career, my recovery, our futures.

Every class is a battle against temptation, every glance a spark threatening to ignite.

We know it's reckless, yet the magnetic pull between us is irresistible. I'm not just battling the ghosts of my past but also the fear that everything I've worked so hard to rebuild might crumble.

He has everything to lose, and so do I. But when surrender feels this right, walking away becomes the toughest test of all.
