When hockey captain Henry crashes a quiet book club meeting looking for tutoring help, he finds an unexpected ally in Halle—a brilliant, bookish junior juggling more projects than she can handle. She agrees to tutor him through his toughest semester in exchange for his help breaking through her writer's block, but their arrangement quickly becomes complicated when genuine chemistry sizzles beneath their carefully drawn boundaries. As they navigate late-night study sessions, real conversations, and moments that blur the line between friends and something more, both Henry and Halle discover that the best stories sometimes write themselves. Perfect for readers who love watching confident, driven people let their walls down for each other.
