After accidentally deleting his research files, Mara finds herself forced to collaborate with him to salvage both their projects. Late nights in the lab, heated debates, and undeniable chemistry blur the line between rivalry and something far more dangerous.
As their professional and personal worlds collide, Mara must decide: is winning worth losing the one person who challenges her in every way that matters?
A witty, STEM-filled rivals-to-lovers romance about ambition, unexpected connections, and the messy equations of the heart.

My Addiction
DISCLAIMER- This is my first story I've written and published publicly. If anyone has any tips please feel free to let me know, Thank you! Korbyn Sanchez came to university to escape, to start over, to find herself. What she didn't expect was to fall under the spell of the one woman she's forbidden to want-her Philosophy professor, Dr. Dani Sinclair. Dani is brilliant, composed, and untouchable-until she isn't. Beneath her icy professionalism burns a slow hunger that mirrors Korbyn's own. As desire simmers into obsession, the two women dance a line sharpened by rules, reputations, and other lovers who threaten to pull them apart. From tense classroom debates to stolen touches behind closed doors, jealousy cuts deep, secrets unravel, and the cost of desire rises higher with every choice. But in the end, love doesn't follow syllabi-and neither do they.Complete

"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.Complete

The kind of girl who got under Conrad's skin the moment she looked at him and smirked. They clashed from day one. Every lecture, every lab, every case study-Conrad and Ophelia butted heads like it was sport. And when word spread about a single, highly-coveted internship at the hospital, their rivalry sharpened into something electric. Both of them wanted it. Neither of them was willing to back down. But the line between rivalry and something more has a way of blurring. Between late-night study sessions, stolen glances in the anatomy lab, and the walls they both swore they'd never let down...

Rivals. Lovers.
