Bookroo's summary

Carter Phillips makes a risky deal with math genius Adam Messner: he'll take her exam for a date. But Adam's demands grow sinister, and Carter finds herself trapped in a web of blackmail. As Adam's grip tightens, Carter must navigate his escalating threats or risk her secret being exposed, potentially destroying her life. Can she outsmart Adam before it's too late, or will she be forced to pay the ultimate price for her desperate decision?

From the publisher

Carter Phillips is under a lot of pressure to ace her math achievement exam - so much pressure that she gets Adam Messner to take the test for her…in exchange for one date. But Adam wants more than a date - much more. Carter has no choice. She has to do whatever he asks. If not, he’ll tell her secret and ruin her life.
