Two best friends in a room, they might kiss! College Nicolandria AU for those of us still deep in the sauce :P

A wrong number. A crowded dance floor. A connection neither of them can explain. From the moment Olandria and Nic finally meet, being together feels strangely inevitable--as though something invisible has been drawing them toward each other long before either of them knew to look. What begins with undeniable chemistry slowly deepens into something tender, consuming, and frighteningly real. But finding each other is only the beginning.

A one night stand that turns into something else

She doesn't believe in chasing love. Not when it never seems to stay. Olandria has built a life she's proud of-her boutique, her clients, her independence. She knows her worth. So when every man she meets disappears without explanation, she tells herself it doesn't matter. Until it starts to. Nic Vansteenberghe doesn't do relationships. He does control, business, and keeping things exactly where he wants them. So when a high-stakes deal depends on him having a stable girlfriend, he needs a solution-and fast. Olandria needs a fake boyfriend. Nic needs a perfect image. It should be simple. It isn't. Because the one man who keeps interfering in her life... is the same one who's been making sure no one else ever gets the chance. And the worst part? She doesn't even know she was already his.

~ Three years later ~ A shared past. A complicated present. And a connection that refuses to fade.
