One competition. A hundred contestants. Only one winner.
A girl fighting to survive. A guy determined to thrive.
Every year, New York City hosts a high-stakes business competition where one brilliant entrepreneurial idea earns its creator a 500k prize. For twenty-four-year-old Claire Rosewood, being accepted is more than an opportunity-it's her one chance to break free from crushing debt and rebuild her future. She'll do whatever it takes to win. But standing out among ninety-nine other competitors is no easy feat-especially when one of them is Liam Hunter.
At just twenty-nine, Liam has already built a business empire. Known for his ruthless drive and razor-sharp instincts, he lives by one motto: everything has a price. Winning this competition would only cement his perfect record. He always gets what he wants-until Claire shows up and refuses to play by his rules. She's stubborn, unpredictable, and infuriatingly impossible to ignore.
She hates him. He hates her.
She loves him. He loves her.
But in a game fueled by ambition, betrayal, and greed, will love stand a chance? And when the final curtain falls, will the million-dollar prize still be worth the cost?

The Stanford Diagnosis: Love
*SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THIS STORY: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gm2TVJ4xguaJ3pZmBBNCn *SPINOFF OF THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, EXPECT BASED ON CONRADS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA* Jeremiah and Belly ended up together. That summer was over, and so was Conrad Fisher's quiet heartbreak. By the time he returned to Stanford for medical school, Conrad had finally begun to let Belly go. The ache dulled, replaced with the fierce focus of becoming a doctor. He thought he knew what he wanted-control, certainty, and maybe, if he was lucky, peace. Enter Ophelia Sinclair. Ophelia was brilliant, competitive, and utterly impossible. The kind of girl who corrected professors under her breath, the kind of girl who lived and breathed ambition. 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... Conrad and Ophelia's story becomes more than just about medicine. It becomes about love. The dangerous, consuming kind you don't plan for-the kind Conrad never thought he'd find again. Enemies. Rivals. Lovers.

TWISTED PROMISES (Twisted Path Book 2
When love is all you have left to lose... how do you let it go? I should've known better than to fall for Shane Montgomery. He's rich, revered, and bound to a legacy that was never meant to include a girl like me. A girl born of shadows, shaped by secrets, and marked by a past that's forever tainted me. But Shane didn't care. With that cocky smile and relentless charm, he slipped past every wall I built and made promises I was desperate to believe. We said we'd hold on. That no matter how far apart life-or our families-pulled us, we'd always find our way back to each other. But forever is a fragile thing in a world ruled by power and privilege. A world built on lies and secrets, by people who would rather see us shattered than together and happy. Now everything we had is teetering on the edge of ruin-our love, our dreams, and something even more precious... something we never imagined we'd lose. They warned us we wouldn't last. And maybe they were right. Because the deeper the betrayal, the harder the truth cuts. Not all promises are meant to be kept. And love, no matter how true, isn't always enough. In this gripping second installment of the Twisted Path Series, loyalty is tested, love is torn at the seams, and two broken souls must decide if holding on is worth the pain.
