Study hard. Fall harder. A rivals-to-lovers queer YA romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of And They Were Roommates. Perfect for fans of I Kissed Shara Wheeler and Heated Rivalry.
As the heir to the most successful tutoring company in the world, Rory studies harder than anyone else and he never loses.
Except to Luca – the infuriatingly good-looking hockey player who wins every academic competition without even trying.
When Rory has a public meltdown, he sets his sights set on winning the most cutthroat academic camp in the country to salvage his reputation . . . then Luca shows up. But this time, Rory has a plan: make Luca fall in love with him – and break his heart.
As rivalry turns to romance, will Rory risk losing the competition or losing Luca?
