Dr. Avni Vardhan is a fiercely eloquent scholar with a talent for slicing arguments apart using metaphor and sarcasm. Her weapon of choice? A red pen and a well-placed Shakespeare quote. She believes Aleksandr's obsession with stoicism is cute - like watching a wolf try to meditate. Dr. Aleksandr Volkov is a logic driven philosophy prodigy whose idea of foreplay is a well-structured thesis. He worships at the altar of logic, data, and a disdain for anything remotely emotional - or Avni. Especially Avni. Their academic rivalry is the stuff of departmental legend: One coffee-stained argument away from HR intervention. And a thousand passive - aggressive footnotes. But when a clerical mix-up forces them to co-author a research paper for the most competitive academic conference of their careers, the unthinkable happens: They have to work together. Between snarky banter, all night debates, suspiciously lingering eye contact, and fights over font size that vaguely feels like flirting, things start to spiral. Fast. Because beneath the snark and citations is a truth neither of them is ready to admit: "The greatest thesis they'll ever write... might just be about each other."

Summary// When a young curator lands her dream job at the most prestigious history museum in Maryland, she expects dusty archives-not enchanted exhibits that come to life after dark. She doesn't remember much about her past. Just the dreams: a moonlit sea, a falling girl, and a heartbreak that doesn't feel like hers. But when she discovers a painting of a woman who looks exactly like her, the museum's magic begins to unravel...and so does her identity. The museum's dark and guarded director, Law, seems to know more than he lets on. There's something in his gaze-something familiar. Something ancient. But as she uncovers the secrets buried in the museum's walls, a greater threat begins to awaken, one that's been waiting for centuries. And now, someone-or something-is watching her. Not all legends are fiction. Not all love stories are over. And some enemies never truly die.
