Two rivals, two stories, one ending. Ever since they could remember they were always butting heads trying to be the best. If one got better, the other got better as well.

Will they find a common footing, or will they let their hatred destroy them? Sloane Mercer- A hockey center, social, out-going, and a smile that fills the room, usually kept together, except when it comes to Sloane. Blair Steele- A center star, a machine. She's aggressive, never afraid to get into fights. She's quiet, but her silence is intense. She's also highly competitive and committed especially when it comes to Sloane Mercer.

Dana Whitmore came to Columbia for a fresh start. She did not come for Elena Moretti. Elena is the head of her department, the mother of her most talented student, and the kind of woman who commands every room she walks into - including, increasingly, the ones that contain Dana. Both of them are brilliant. Both of them have been broken by people they trusted. Both of them understand perfectly well why this is a terrible idea. Understanding has never stopped anyone. What begins as professional friction slowly becomes something neither of them has a name for - built in stolen glances, charged silences, and conversations that say everything except what they actually mean. Some lines exist to be respected. Others exist to remind us exactly how much we want to cross them.

"You don't tell me what to do." I grit as she pins my hands above me, her body pressed against mine. "Angel, look at how you tremble beneath me, feel how your heart races. Don't lie to me, hm? Tell me, does he make you feel like this?" She chuckles, her expression dark. "You're delusional." I can't help the moan that escapes me as her fingers drift lower. "Oh? Tonight I'll show you how 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 you are. Tonight I'll show you what happens when you let another 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 you." Her lips meet mine, and I forget how to breathe. ******************************************************* Mia Quinn, a 20-year-old woman who has recently joined university with a past no one should discover, she intends to remain alone, private and to finally leave.

Valeria Maria Alvarez is The Sovereign: CEO of Obsidian Global, an elite financial empire that specializes in the surgical dismantling of old wealth. Cold, ambitious, and utterly untouchable, Valeria's life is ruled by profit, not passion. When her firm is contracted to invest in a lucrative acquisition target, the crumbling Winslow Collection, she expects to find assets to exploit and numbers to manipulate. She does not expect to find Alana Rose Winslow. As the Collection's Lead Appraiser, Alana is the pure heart of a dying legacy, fighting to protect priceless art while navigating the controlling cruelty of her own family. Her soft nature and quiet resilience stand in direct opposition to everything Valeria believes in. The investigation quickly turns into an obsession. To Valeria, Alana isn't a competitor; she's a beautiful vulnerability-a delicate piece that must be owned, protected, and possessed. Every cold calculation she makes in the boardroom is countered by a reckless desire to break Alana's composure. In the high-stakes world of London opulence, where every desire is bought and every emotion is a weakness, Valeria is ready to execute a hostile takeover. But as the lines between corporate cruelty and possessive love blur, The Sovereign may discover that the purest treasure is the one that fights back.

Blair Donovan has spent four years building a reputation no one dares question. Captain of Ashford University's nationally ranked women's soccer team. Future professional. The defender every striker hates playing against. Cold. Disciplined. Untouchable. At least, that's what everyone believes. When Coach Ramirez recruits junior transfer Avery Bennett-the same striker Blair specifically begged her not to bring to Ashford-it feels like the beginning of Blair's worst nightmare. Avery is everything Blair can't stand. Loud where Blair is quiet. Carefree where Blair is controlled. Infuriatingly talented. And somehow always smiling. From the first practice, they're at each other's throats. Hard tackles become personal. Every argument ends with someone pulling them apart. Teammates start placing bets on who will throw the first punch, while reporters can't stop asking why the captain and the team's newest star seem to hate each other so much. Neither of them expected to become roommates on away trips. Neither of them expected the rivalry to turn into something neither one knows how to handle. Because somewhere between the screaming matches, the late-night bus rides, the brutal practices, and the moments no one else sees... hatred starts looking a lot like attraction. But falling in love doesn't erase years of walls. Blair has spent her entire life believing that letting people in only gives them the chance to leave. Avery refuses to give up on someone who keeps pushing her away, but loving Blair means fighting battles she can't even see. As the pressure of chasing a national championship collides with buried secrets, old wounds, and a relationship neither of them knows how to navigate, they'll have to decide whether love is worth risking everything they've spent years protecting. Some games are won in ninety minutes. The hardest ones are fought off the field.

She remembered her scent. It seemed to verify her aura. Her scent was cherry Coke and cigarettes. The latter one was passed onto her, especially after she had handed her her first cigarette only three months ago. Three months was all it took for her to develop that bad habit, but it wasn't the first nor the only one she developed in that period of time. Now she laid on the roof where she had smoked her first cigarette three months ago, and she glanced over at the full can of cherry Coke sitting on the concrete next to her, almost as if it were mocking her. A dull ache formed in her heart, a hollow, resounding ache that penetrated her deepest core. The sudden burning sensation in her fingers made her realize that the cigarette was burned to its very end, and maybe so was she. -♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤-♤- August is attending Cornell University as a creative writing major, and while at a college party her friends dragged her to much to her dismay, she stumbles upon a gang in an alleyway and sees something she shouldn't have. With her life now in danger, she has to deal with the consequences of that night-which includes the leader of the Blue Porcelain gang, Willow, a tall and brooding woman whose green eyes would put the girl in more danger than being caught in a spiderweb of New York gangs ever could.
