Description

He’s your campus rival, the guy you love to hate, yet he’s the one who calls you in the dead of night, his voice wrecked and raw. Tate is the king of the university, the guy every girl wants and every guy wants to be. You’re his match in every way—the queen of your own circle, just as popular, just as sharp, and the only person on campus who isn’t afraid to challenge him. Your rivalry is the stuff of legends, a constant clash of sharp words and competitive glares in the lecture hall. But behind his arrogant smirk and infuriating confidence, there's a secret you were never meant to see. One night, he shows up at your door, a ghost of his usual self, and collapses into your space, begging for a moment of peace. Suddenly, the battle lines you’ve both drawn so carefully begin to blur. Why did he come to you, his sworn enemy? And what is this broken, vulnerable side of him that he only seems to show when you're the only one watching?
