Forty-seven percent. That wasn't just a bad grade—it was a total catastrophe. Ethan Park is drowning. On the verge of losing his pre-med scholarship and shattering his hardworking parents' dreams, he is forced into mandatory supplemental tutoring for the department's most brutal weed-out course. Enter Cassian Ward: the biochemistry department’s brilliant, hyper-controlled golden boy who commands every room with icy precision and has zero tolerance for excuses. Cassian lives a perfectly optimized life behind a flawless clinical mask. But when Ethan pushes past his perimeters, desperate to survive the semester, the rigid lines between teacher and student begin to combust. What starts as a strict, off-the-books transaction quickly spirals out of control. The rules are non-negotiable: grades remain untouched, a safe word is established, and absolutely no kissing. Because a kiss would make it real. But as late-night office drills turn into scorching encounters on empty lab benches, the power dynamic completely inverts. Ethan is learning how to swim, and the unflappable Cassian is learning exactly what it feels like to completely unravel. When a malicious anonymous complaint triggers a departmental investigation, their secrets are pushed into the harsh daylight. With a career-ending scandal looming and the final exam days away, they must decide if protecting their futures means giving up the one variable neither of them can optimize away: each other. Booked Solid by My Tutor is a scorching-hot, high-stakes contemporary M/M romance featuring a hyper-controlled PhD candidate, a fiercely resilient pre-med student, heavy dark-academia vibes, and a possessive praise-kink dynamic that will leave you breathless. It is a complete standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
