Cruel Curriculum: A Dark College Queer Romance

By Julian Ashcroft

At Harrington University, ambition isn't encouraged. It's weaponized.

Silas Harrington was born to win. Old money. Perfect GPA. A future already written in donor plaques and legacy handshakes.

River Whitlock clawed his way in on scholarship and stubbornness. Every decimal point matters. Every mistake costs him more than pride.

They are academic rivals locked in a zero-sum game for the same future. And Harrington University rewards only one victor.

What begins as competition curdles into obsession. Psychological warfare escalates into chemical leverage. Hatred blurs into something more dangerous when control, dependency, and desire collide behind closed doors.

Cruel Curriculum is a dark, high-intensity queer romance set inside an elite college where power is currency, ambition is cruelty, and intimacy is just another way to dominate.

This is not a love story. It's a negotiation.
