The Tension Between Us Enemies. Partners. Something more? Claire Evans is the kind of girl who color-codes her life-disciplined, brilliant, and one panic attack away from falling apart. Her greatest fear? The dark. Her second? Failing. Jace Carter is chaos wrapped in charm. A mechanical engineering major with a reputation for breaking rules-and hearts. He lives in the moment, laughs in the face of structure, and couldn't care less about his GPA. When a cross-department college project pairs them together for the semester, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Claire wants nothing more than to finish the project and avoid Jace's laid-back attitude and smug smile. But the more time they spend together, the more she begins to see a side of him no one else does. Then one night, a power outage traps them in a pitch-black room on campus-her worst nightmare. What starts as a confrontation turns into a confession. Walls break. Hearts crack. And suddenly, the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Can a girl terrified of the dark fall for the boy who lives in it? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers college romance filled with emotional depth, witty banter, and a love that heals even the deepest fears.
