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.Complete

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

He has what it seems everyone wants-- popularity, a girlfriend, a starting position on the school's baseball team and a scholarship-- but he's not happy. He feels empty. When he's paired with Laine for a group project and she accidentally leaves her journal in his possession, he discovers she's been watching him-- not in a creepy stalker kind of way, but more observant. They share most of their classes, and she's been writing down reasons why she would never end up with him-- there's seventy five. But the information she's missing is that his persona at school isn't who he is at all. Realizing how lonely they both are, they decide to become friends-- and Laine discovers her seventy-sixth reason why she'd never end up with Jesse Thompson-- he's just like her.
