MARKED BY THE QUARTERBACK

Aria Bennett has one goal,get through high school, keep her head down, and secure a future she can actually afford. It’s been working so far… until she’s offered a paid tutoring job with a scholarship attached. She says yes without hesitation. Then she finds out who she’s tutoring. Dominic Hayes. Star quarterback. Top of the social ladder. And the same person who’s made her life miserable for years. Dominic doesn’t want her help, and he doesn’t pretend otherwise. He skips sessions, makes sarcastic comments, and does everything he can to get under her skin. Aria, however, needs the money too badly to quit. So she stays. What starts as forced tutoring turns into constant arguments, quiet tension, and moments neither of them quite understands. Because the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to hold onto the past version of each other, and somewhere along the line, hate stops feeling so simple.
