Rubeliane
Jace Rivera never planned on falling for anyone. He was too busy fixing machines, annoying his friends, and laughing at jokes that weren't actually funny. Mechanical Engineering made sense to him. People were harder for him.
Then Sera Navarro walked into his life. Or technically, he crashed into hers.
She's quiet, precise, and structured. He's loud, easily entertained, and allergic to sitting still. Their worlds shouldn't overlap, yet somehow they do-in workshops, hallways, study rooms, and moments Jace pretends aren't making his heartbeat louder than his impact driver.
What begins as playful rivalry and engine-grease chaos slowly becomes something steadier. Softer. More dangerous. Because the closer he gets, the more he wants to know every blueprint she keeps hidden-the fears she won't say, the dreams she doesn't think she deserves.
Jace can take apart any machine. But learning how to handle a girl like Sera? That might be the most complicated, hilarious, heart-shifting project of his life.
