Description

He was your sworn enemy, until the night he completely shattered in your arms. Rhys is your university's golden boy and your personal nightmare—arrogant, brilliant, and seemingly dedicated to challenging you at every turn. The tension between you is a constant, sharp thing, a rivalry so intense it's the talk of the campus. You're the only two who can match each other's intellect and ambition, and you clash like thunder and lightning. Now, you're forced to be partners for the most important project of the semester. The battle of wits has moved to your apartment, where another argument is brewing. But everything changes when he takes a phone call. The Rhys who returns to your room is a stranger—his usual mask of cool confidence is gone, replaced by a terrifyingly blank expression. For the first time, you see past the rival and glimpse the boy underneath, a boy who is utterly and completely broken. In that moment, the line between hate and something dangerously close to care begins to blur, and the enemy you thought you knew is about to become the one person you can't leave behind.
