Description

He's the last person on earth you want to see, yet somehow, he's always there, a dark storm cloud in your otherwise sunny life. You and Mason have been rivals since you were kids, a bitter legacy of your parents' close friendship. Every holiday, every family dinner, every shared vacation was another stage for your endless war of snide remarks and competitive glares. Now, in college, the stakes are higher and the battleground is bigger. He can't stand to see you succeed, but what he truly can't tolerate is seeing you with other guys. His jealousy is a living thing—a possessive, dangerous shadow that follows you around campus. He uses intimidation and his sharp tongue to drive away anyone who gets too close, leaving you furious and flustered. But beneath the anger, there's a spark you can't ignore, a tension so thick it suffocates you both. Why does the person who claims to hate you most watch you like you're the only thing he's ever wanted?
