Curved Grade: A Steamy M/M Professor/Student Romance
A failing grade was supposed to be the worst thing that could happen to him. Then he met his new professor.
Ethan Park is barely holding it together. He’s one bad midterm away from losing his scholarship, and Statistics 412 is a graduation requirement that feels more like a death sentence. To make matters worse, the class is taught by Dr. Adrian Cole—a man who is notoriously strict, terrifyingly brilliant, and the most distracting presence Ethan has ever encountered.
Dr. Cole doesn't do excuses. He demands perfection, discipline, and absolute control. When Ethan’s desperate need to pass forces him into Adrian’s office hours, he expects a lecture on work ethic. What he gets instead is a completely different kind of education.
Adrian sees right through Ethan’s exhausted, anxious exterior to the profound need underneath—the need to surrender, to be guided, and to be completely taken apart. What starts as a rigid tutoring arrangement quickly crosses the line into a deeply intimate exchange of power. But the university has rules, and so does Adrian. With Ethan’s academic future on the line and a dangerous desire pulling them together, the pressure is mounting.
Ethan needs a passing grade to survive. But Adrian wants his complete submission.
Curved Grade is a high-heat, high-angst M/M contemporary romance featuring a tightly-wound dominant professor, a stressed-out student desperate for an anchor, intense power dynamics, and a guaranteed HEA.
