Rivals in the Spotlight (Book 1: The Stolen Heart Chronicles)

At Violet Bay University, prestige isn't just earned-it's fought for. Neha Sharma, a brilliant but introverted tech prodigy, is determined to secure a coveted internship at a top company. With her eyes set on victory in the university's Innovation Competition, she doesn't expect to find herself at odds with Aryan Kapoor, a charming business student and campus heartthrob. When both enter the competition, their rivalry quickly becomes the talk of the university.

But what begins as a battle for success soon takes a darker turn. As sabotage disrupts the competition-tools vanish, presentations are sabotaged, and students are targeted-Neha and Aryan are reluctantly forced to team up. As they dig deeper, they uncover a hidden underground network operating within the university, threatening everything they've worked for.

Caught between their growing feelings for each other and their desire to win, Neha and Aryan must rely on each other's strengths to unmask the saboteur before it's too late. As trust blossoms and rivalry fades, they discover that teamwork isn't just the key to success-it's the gateway to something more.

In a story of unexpected allies, fierce competition, and budding romance, Neha and Aryan's journey will teach them that sometimes, the most important victories are those of the heart.
