Rival's Gambit

One coveted spot at Alden Law School. For the twin stars of Hawthorne University, it's a prize worth fighting for. But for Wren Adler and Caspian Vale, it's all-out war.

Wren has built her life on discipline and control. She's the top of her class, the master of her future, and she won't let anyone stand in her way. Especially not Caspian Vale the arrogant, reckless, and infuriatingly brilliant rival who seems to absorb knowledge through osmosis and charm his way through life with a provocative smirk. He is her academic nemesis, the one person standing between her and everything she's ever worked for.

Now, a year-long mock trial competition has forced them into an unwilling partnership. Every late-night study session becomes a battlefield of simmering lust and intellectual warfare. Every accidental touch feels like a spark to a fuse. Wren is determined to keep her enemy close and her heart under lock and key, but Caspian has a talent for dismantling her defenses, leaving her exposed and shameless in his presence.

But behind Caspian's smirk lies a secret he'd kill to protect, a vulnerability that Wren accidentally uncovers in the dead of night. Suddenly, the man she thought she knew is a stranger, and the war for a scholarship becomes something far more dangerous.

Fans of Sally Thorne and the intense campus rivalries of Tracy Wolff will find themselves hypnotized by this steamy, slow-burn romance where the lines between love and hate are razor-thin.

In a game where only one can win, what happens when surrender feels more tempting than victory?
