FETISH

Mara Ellison never expected college to be a battlefield-but somehow, Callum Ashcroft made it one. Brilliant, composed, and infuriatingly smug, he's her top rival in every class, every discussion, every exam. Their rivalry is sharp, public, and relentless...yet strangely magnetic.

When a high-stakes summer project forces them to work together, Callum convinces Mara to leave the city and head to his family's secluded mansion under the guise of focus and productivity. What starts as an academic collaboration quickly spirals into something darker: long days and nights in isolation, subtle games of power, and desires Mara never thought she'd feel for the boy she loves to hate.

Amid the quiet of the mansion, Mara discovers that intelligence and competitiveness aren't the only lessons Callum can teach-and that escape might be easier said than done
