Amina Black and Mattheo Riddle have always been oil and water-mutual irritation disguised as rivalry, veiled by years of shared friends and obligations. But when destiny forces them into each other's orbit, cracks begin to form in the walls they've built.

He's dark, dangerous, and everything she's promised herself to avoid. She's sharp, guarded, and hiding more than anyone knows.

But what happens when you're drawn to someone you've sworn to hate?

Amina and Mattheo have always been at odds. The rivalry between them was more than just occasional snarky remarks-it was a clash of worlds. But underneath the sharp words and cold stares lay something neither of them could fully understand.

He's a master of keeping his emotions locked away, yet with her, it's as if the walls crumble. She's spent years convincing herself she's immune to his dangerous charm, but something about his presence feels like a tether, binding them in ways she can't explain.
