Ink and Ash

Some things were meant to burn before they could be rewritten.

Ivy Monroe has built her life out of precision, colour-coded notes, perfect grades, walls no one gets through. Cal Bennett walks in like a match struck too close to paper.

Once, they were rivals. Now they're forced into a partnership neither asked for at Cambridge University, where ambition cuts sharper than truth and every essay feels like a war.

He's all smoke and trouble: late nights, bruised knuckles, that smile that dares the world to care. She's all ink and silence: clever, composed, hiding more than she'll ever admit.

Together they're combustible.

But when family secrets, academic rivalry, and the ghosts of who they used to be start to surface, Ivy and Cal will have to decide what's worth saving; their pride, their plans, or the one person who might burn them down completely.
