A Match Made In Murder

Description:
At one of the most prestigious academies of the era, Marin Luxry and Dion Vespere are locked in a battle that has everyone watching. Marin, the fiercely determined scholarship student, has clawed her way to the top despite the odds stacked against her. Dion, the smug heir to an elite family, has the charm and brilliance to match-not that he'd ever admit it's taken effort to keep up with her.

Their rivalry is legendary. Elaborate schemes, stolen notes, and heated exchanges are just part of their daily routine.

"Face it, Luxry," Dion drawls, his smirk cutting like a blade, "you'll never outwit me. But I admire your ambition... even if it's misplaced."Marin's glare is sharp enough to shatter glass. "Keep dreaming, Vespere. The day you beat me is the day pigs fly."

"Maybe I should let you win once," Dion quips, leaning casually against the library shelves. "After all, it's not every day someone like you gets this close to greatness."Marin slams her book shut, her tone icy. "I'd rather fail than owe you anything."

Tension crackles between them, each determined to outdo the other. But beneath their sharp words and fiery competition, there's something they're both hiding. Dion's charm and effortless confidence mask a secret that could unravel everything he's built. Marin's brilliance and determination conceal a truth she would do anything to protect. The stakes are higher than anyone realizes, and as their paths intertwine in unexpected ways, their rivalry may turn out to be the least of their problems.

As tension builds and truths threaten to surface, Marin and Dion must decide: can they trust each other, or will their secrets destroy them both?

Rivals in the Dark is a historical romantic comedy full of biting wit, chaotic mishaps, and a suspenseful twist that will leave readers breathless.
