Scarlett Voss has always been in control, but now her world is unravelling. Her family is in crisis and their fashion empire is on the brink of collapse. The last thing she needs is being paired with Evan Branson - the infuriatingly handsome blond she loves to hate - for a class project.

Evan Branson has enough on his plate, with old wounds resurfacing and a family member he never wanted to see again back in his life.

Teaming up with Scarlett was supposed to be a distraction, but the more time he spends with her, the harder it is ignore the woman beneath the polished exterior. And when she unexpectedly asks for his help, he jumps at the chance to prove he can be the support she's never had.

But as their banter turns into something deeper, the two must decide: protect their hearts or risk everything for a chance at something real?

Tropes:

-She dislikes him, he's obsessed with her

-Academic rivals to lovers

-Family drama

-Forced proximity

-Draco x Hermione vibes
