Two rivals. One room. And a semester that changes everything. Kayelin Quinn has always outsmarted everyone-except Damian Morris. He's her rival, her nemesis... and now, her unexpected roommate. Winning against him used to be fun. Living with him is an entirely different kind of tension. Between late-night study sessions, sarcastic banter, and the dangerous closeness of shared space, the line between hate and something heartbreakingly real starts to blur. At Montclair University, ambition is everything-but falling for your enemy might just be the biggest risk of all.

When a bachelorette party takes Aerin into her first strip club experience, the last thing she expects is to form a magnetic connection with one of the dancers-a captivating man who only seems to have eyes for her. A spontaneous, sultry dance quickly turns into something deeper when he unexpectedly asks her out mid-performance. What starts as a thrilling one-night stand quickly turns into something more. Nights together become a pattern, then a rhythm, as they slip into a casual relationship, but one on his terms. Strings are stretched thin and lines are blurred when the chemistry between them growns and burns into something deeper, an undeniable pull for more tugging on each side, but only one willing to fall. Soon, casual doesn't seem so casual, but the secrets behind the man's facade won't allow for more. And soon, Aerin finds herself questioning what it means to fall for someone who won't let you all the way in.
