Alexa Carter has her life planned out. Get through college, ace her psych classes, and avoid unnecessary distractions-especially the charming, overconfident kind. But when Diego Álvarez, a ridiculously handsome pre-med student with a Spanish accent and a talent for getting under her skin, claims the seat across from her in the library, her world is thrown off balance. What starts as innocent study sessions quickly turns into late-night debates, stolen glances, and a chemistry too strong to ignore. Alexa insists they're just study buddies-nothing more. Diego, however, isn't one to back down from a challenge. As their connection deepens, so do the risks. Alexa's fear of getting too close battles Diego's determination to prove they're meant for more. But love is messy, unpredictable, and far from the logical world Alexa clings to. And when hearts are on the line, denying feelings might not be enough to stop them from falling.
