Straight-A student. Top of her class. Future valedictorian. She had everything under control—until one B ruined her perfect GPA and her parents hired her a tutor.

Worse? That tutor turns out to be Isaiah—her infuriating, cocky, dreadlocked academic rival who competes with her for everything: test scores, participation points, attention... and maybe her heart.

They’ve never gotten along. But now they’re forced to study together. Between chaotic bus rides, awkward almost-kisses, and a school rumor that they’re secretly dating, she’s starting to question everything—especially why his teasing smirk is suddenly so hard to hate.

It was supposed to be war.
But maybe it’s something else entirely.
