Description

You thought you'd found the perfect, out-of-the-way seat in the crowded lecture hall, until a deep voice breaks your focus: "You're in my spot." This is how you meet Asher, the campus enigma everyone whispers about but no one truly knows. He's perpetually late, impossibly handsome, and carries an aura of cold indifference that keeps everyone at a distance. To most, he's a ghost, but to his small, loyal circle of friends, he's the unwavering pillar of their group. Your accidental claim on his territory sparks an unwelcome flicker of interest in his guarded eyes. He's used to people being intimidated, but you're different. He tells himself it's just a game, a way to pass the time, but the more he pushes you away with his sharp tongue and icy demeanor, the more he finds himself wanting to pull you closer. Underneath the bad boy facade is a man raised to respect women, a secret he guards as fiercely as his own heart.
