slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance

Arya Mehra and Ivaan Khurana were once childhood friends-locked in playful banter until a bitter business fallout tore their families apart. Years later, fate brings them back together at a prestigious London business school.

Arya is focused, sharp, and determined to prove herself. Ivaan is charming, strategic, and way too good at getting under her skin. When they're both drawn into an elite business competition, sparks fly-and so do old resentments.

But when one of them begins pretending to catch feelings as a distraction tactic... neither expects to blur the lines between what's real and what's just part of the game.

And the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Beneath The Rivalry by dgbjvfbb

Nitya Verma and Mohak Agarwal have been rivals since fifth grade-she, the quiet Behavior Incharge, and he, the brilliant but indisciplined boy with a temper. While Nitya found comfort in books and transformed into a top student, Mohak remained reckless, never seeing her beyond their rivalry. But everything shifts when Mohak joins RSA, Nitya's safe haven where she is outspoken and free. As he witnesses her struggles, outbursts, and the depth behind her quiet demeanor, their dynamic begins to change. From enemies to something more, can years of rivalry turn into love? #1 in reallifesituations 09/03/2025 #1 in academicrivalry 04/04/2025

Irreplaceably Yours by authorrbliss

They're sworn enemies... Until one argument turns into a spark. And that spark sets their worlds on fire. Because sometimes, the line between hate and love... is thinner than a heartbeat.

Or will pride ruin what fate already planned? ✨ A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story filled with tension, chaos, and the kind of love that changes everything.

Temptress by that_one_book_gurl

Three years ago, Kiara made a mistake-one that lives in the dark corners of the internet. No face. No name. Just a username and a desperate girl trying to keep her family from falling apart. Now seventeen and living alone, she's untouchable. Unbothered. And totally off-limits... especially to Oliver Hayes, her best friend's older brother. Cold, cynical, and painfully hot, Oliver has no interest in love-and Kiara isn't looking for it either. But when he finds out the truth about her past, everything changes. Secrets slip. Lines blur. And soon, they're playing a game neither of them can win. She tempts him to break every rule. He makes her want something she swore she'd never need. This was supposed to be just sex. So why does it feel like falling?

Thorns Beneath the Halo by SAYURI_WRITES

Aeris and Izen were never meant to be simple. Not when their touch burns, their glances linger, and their nights blur between rough truths and quiet tenderness. Nineteen and reckless, Aeris is all sharp smirks, soft lips, and unspoken aches-daring the world to keep up. Izen, silent and steady, is the one person who always does. They don't talk about what they are. They don't need to. From whispered confessions in the dark to stolen moments that leave them breathless, they just are-raw, real, and utterly tangled. Together with Hazel and Brielle, their found-family chaos plays out in between homemade cakes, over-watched dramas, and shared silence. But behind the laughter is heat, tension, and the kind of connection that doesn't fade when the lights go out. This isn't a love story that starts with a kiss. It starts with want. And it just doesn't stop.

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. What begins as a war of words and one-upmanship-sabotaged presentations, snide remarks, and brainy brawls-quickly spirals into late-night study sessions full of tension, quiet admiration masked as competition, and stolen glances they refuse to admit mean anything. 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. From rivals to reluctant partners, to lovers who now know every version of each other-this is a story of growth, vulnerability, chaos, intimacy, and undeniable love between two people who never expected to fall for the one person who challenged them the most. Enemies to lovers Slow-burn with explosive payoff Fluff hidden under layers of angst and tension Smart people being absolute idiots about their feelings Longing. Pining. Banter. Chaos.

In My Skin by KaraTales

Taylor West is the epitome of self-reliance. Or she must be. Relationships are fickle. Despite finally enrolling in her dream studies and thriving in them, her social life is only skin-deep. When she finds out that her so-called boyfriend is a selfish cheater, her chronic condition flares up again. Walking around as if somebody had thrown itching powder all over you is not fun. Due to the mental strain, Taylor resorts to medication - but pills can only do so much. If that wasn't bad enough, she keeps running into Killian, whose annoying ways are starting to get under her skin. When a mysterious stalker shows up and things take a dangerous turn, Killian's help might be exactly what she needs.

Not yet yours by Willowreader2473

Aurora Westwood is focused on one thing - her nursing degree at Oxford University. When she's paired with Theo, an arrogant psychology student, for a major group project, she's forced into a partnership she'd rather avoid. From their first tense encounter, the chemistry between them is undeniable, but not in a good way. As the semester unfolds, their interactions become a battle of wills - until a party, a stolen glance, and a chance encounter make Aurora realize that her feelings for Theo are more complicated than she ever imagined. Jealousy, frustration, and a slow burn tension heat up between them as they navigate school, their unexpected connection, and the thin line between love and hate. In a world where emotions are as volatile as the pressure to succeed, can Aurora and Theo find a way to work together without destroying each other first?
