What happens when your greatest rival becomes your only ally?
Ravienne Astor is used to winning. Sharp, ambitious, and fiercely independent, she dominates every competition at Bellfaire University, earning both admiration and resentment. To her, success is the only option-until an unexpected twist changes everything.
Eros Laurent is the one person who can match her wit for wit, challenge for challenge. Arrogant, unpredictable, and infuriatingly brilliant, he's been her fiercest competitor for as long as she can remember. And now, fate has thrown them together.
Forced to work as a team, their rivalry turns into something far more complicated-something neither of them is ready to admit. But as secrets unravel and time slips through their fingers, Ravienne and Eros will learn that some battles can't be won, and some wars aren't meant to be fought alone.
A story of ambition, love, and the fleeting nature of time, this novel will pull you into a world where every second counts and every moment is worth remembering.
