In 2895, the world is barely holding together, thanks to apocalyptic disasters and scientists who took "What's the worst that could happen?" way too seriously. Meet Skyleen Winters, a girl stuck with a family legacy she never asked for... and a man who's really just a side character. Kay. The brooding, too-cool-for-this, "I-could-kill-you-with-a-paperclip" heir to her family's rival guild. She hates him. Follows him around anyway. Or wait-he hates her... but follows her around anyway. Honestly? Hard to tell. Now, Skyleen has to survive Kay's cryptic one-liners, brutal training, and the unsettling feeling that he either wants to kill her... or doesn't? We'll see. With dangerous science, family feuds, and one very inconvenient rivalry, Skyleen's biggest challenge isn't just surviving-it's figuring out who she really is before it's too late.

Park Sunghoon was always rank one. He didn't even try. And he didn't have to. Everything came naturally to him and he was good at everything from academics to figure skating. He was also the school's heartthrob with an ice heart; he rejected every girl without a second thought. On the other hand, Ahn Juna had to study day and night just to always be ranked below Sunghoon. Juna hates Sunghoon because she could never beat him in anything. Until she had enough of it. There was only one way to rank first - make Park Sunghoon fall in love.

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?
