Veriton Hall was never built for those who've risen from nothing. Those like me. Everything I have, I earned. Some can't say the same.
Theodore Lancaster has been my rival since the day we both set foot on campus---smug, brilliant, born with a silver spoon and a trust fund.
He's everything I've fought against my entire life.
And now? He's the only thing standing between me and the thesis project that could launch my career.
Working with him is a nightmare.
Ignoring the heat between us?
Impossible.
I've built my world on structure, ambition, and self-preservation.
But Theo makes me want to set fire to all of it.

She is as infuriating as she is brilliant. And unfortunately, she's the only person I've ever met who doesn't fall for my charm.
I've spent the last four years outscoring, outsmarting, and outmaneuvering her---until Winslow pairs us for a joint thesis that forces us to spend every second together.
She hates me. I'm not exactly a fan of her, either.
So why do I keep imagining what it'd be like to kiss her mid-argument?
Vienna's all rules and fire. I've never met a woman more determined to hate me.
But the longer we work together, the more I realize:
I don't want to win anymore.
I want her.
