Enemies-to-lovers. Forced to collaborate. One mistake away from heartbreak... 📚💔 A steamy dark academia romance with high stakes and electric chemistry.

She's the new head of the Classics department. He's the rock-star historian who's been her biggest rival since grad school. Now they have six months to save their departments… or lose everything.

Dr. Lena Petrova thought Danwood University would be her fresh start—until she discovered Dr. Aris Thorne, bestselling author and podcast celebrity, controlling the History department with ruthless charm and academic politics.

When budget cuts hit, the dean forces them into a joint research project, demanding a breakthrough collaboration that neither wants. But when Lena's research is stolen and Aris becomes the prime suspect, their rivalry erupts into accusations, temptation—and danger.

Clearing his name means working side by side, uncovering a conspiracy that reaches far beyond campus walls.

He's everything she distrusts about modern academia. She's everything he thinks is wrong with ivory-tower elitism. But in the fight for their careers, they'll discover that some battles are worth surrendering to.
