TEMPTATIONS

James Buchanan Barnes x O/C

Enemies to Lovers

✨Alternative Universe✨

---

All Annelise Katherine Rogers wanted was a fresh start.

Getting accepted into her dream school meant more than classes and campus life-it meant distance. A place filled with people who didn't know her history, didn't know her family, and didn't already have opinions about who she was supposed to be.

For the first time, she had the chance to become someone entirely her own which didn't even last twenty-four hours.

The moment her brother's best friend-and her longtime enemy-James Buchanan Barnes stepped back into her life, the version of herself she'd carefully built began to crack. Now they're thrown into the same world again only this time at college.

Forced into each other's orbit in a place that was supposed to be a new beginning.

As old grudges blur into dangerous tension, stolen glances turn heated, and every fight feels one step to awakening their unholy desire-Sometimes hatred burns an awful lot like desire.
