Simona Kowalski has one year left at Switzerland's most exclusive boarding school, and none of it belongs to her. Her scholarship is the only reason she's here, and it comes with a catch. She's been assigned to tutor George Ricci, the school's biggest disappointment and the son of its biggest donor, and if he fails, she loses everything. George doesn't want a tutor. He doesn't want anyone looking too closely at why his grades are slipping, or why he'd rather lose his spot on the rowing team than explain himself to one more person. Simona isn't supposed to be the exception. But she keeps showing up anyway, and he keeps letting her. What starts as forced study sessions turns into the one thing neither of them can afford: each other. Because the closer they get, the more Simona uncovers about what George is really hiding, and the more George realizes that losing her might cost him more than his father ever could. Her future depends on his grades. His secret could end them both. And somewhere between exam prep and stolen moments in empty classrooms, falling in love became the riskiest thing either of them has ever done.
