Magna Cum Laude

Augustus “Gus” Whitmore isn’t just another handsome freshman at Northfield A&M, he’s legacy. His father, Langston Whitmore Jr., is campus royalty. Graduated with honors. Pledged Lambda Phi Phi. Built a name that still echoes through those halls.

Now it's Gus’ turn.

When he joins his father’s old fraternity, the bar is set high. His initiation? Outdo a legendary prank from decades ago. But Gus doesn’t prank like no clown, he aims for the jugular.

His target? Dean Marcus Gaines. Respected. Polished. Gay and married. Gus sees the cracks behind the man’s guarded eyes and slides in.

What starts as a dare turns into a deadly chess match of seduction, secrets, and control. Gus knows how to smile pretty while moving pieces in the dark. But this isn’t just about getting close, it’s about power. And Marcus, with all his prestige, might just be the most useful piece on the board.

But nothing stays hidden forever. Whispers spread. Files don’t line up. A nosy professor starts digging. And when Gus’ father catch wind of it, he goes into protective mode. He reminds his son, at Northfield A&M, winning ain't about playing fair, it's about playing smart.



Magna Cum Laude is a twisted psychological thriller soaked in secrets, lust, and ambition, set on the campus of a prestigious HBCU where everybody’s playing a role and somebody always has to lose.

Ask yourself: What if the real villain ain’t the one pulling strings, but the one wearing the honors cord?
