"You know I hate you right?"
"Sure you do."
A college romance story:
Mina Martinez has enough on her plate-juggling college, a demanding part-time job, and the process of moving out. The last thing she needs is Cory Haywood: irritating and always one snarky comment away from an argument.
But as life throws them together-group projects, a shared class, and the quiet realization that behind the sarcasm is someone just as lost as she is. What starts as tension turns into understanding, and slowly, something more.
In a world of deadlines, disappointments, and dreams, Mina and Cory might just find that the person they were least expecting could be the one who understands them most.

A Month to Temptation
For an introvert, life is all about balance-quiet routines, solitude, and carefully crafted excuses to avoid the chaos of other people. But nothing could prepare her for the nightmare of a mandatory month-long winter trip with every law student she knows. Trapped in a snowy mountain resort. No silence. No escape. Just endless noise, exhaustion, and forced socializing. And then there's Henry Caliver. Smartest in their class. Everyone's favorite. Brilliant. Confident. Completely untouchable. The guy every girl wants-and the one she never expected to even notice her...until one awkward encounter in the hot tub changes everything. What begins as a moment of accidental closeness turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances across crowded rooms, and a dangerous pull neither of them can resist.

What if one month is enough to break down walls she's spent years building? And what if this nightmare trip turns into the one thing she never knew she needed? One month. One impossible connection. One chance to change everything. A slow-burn, sizzling contemporary romance full of tension, longing, and unforgettable chemistry.

They've clashed since freshman year her messy notes against his color-coded spreadsheets, her warmth against his cool detachment. When fate (and a meddling professor) pairs them for the university's biggest creative project, sparks fly and not the friendly kind. But deadlines have a way of forcing people together.

In which... At the University of Sydney, sparks fly in the lecture halls when Isadora Rodriguez, a sharp-tongued, charismatic overachiever with a wild streak, collides with Simon Seville, the uptight, bespectacled academic perfectionist known for his cold logic and killer grades.

As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial. There's a moment in the library that almost turns into a kiss. There are rainy nights, blanket forts, drunken confessions, and the quiet realization that they've stopped wanting to win against each other... and started wanting each other. The tension breaks somewhere-with one impulsive, heated kiss that turns into a full emotional unraveling. By the time they admit their feelings, it's messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth every insult hurled.
