Janisha truly nails the atmosphere of college, the pressure of high-performance athletics, and the fake-dating plot with this book! Esha Patel on Falling

Welcome to North University!

Scarlett Voss has always been in control. As the daughter of a fashion dynasty, she knows exactly what's expected of her - but no matter how hard she works, she's never taken seriously within the family business. 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 already, trying to figure out what he wants from his future while battling pressures no one else seems to notice.

Teaming up with Scarlett was supposed to be a distraction, but the more time he spends with her, the harder it is to 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?

A fun, heartfelt academic rivals-to-lovers romance novel. Perfect for fans of Becka Mack, Bal Khabra and Elle Kennedy.

Tropes:

- She dislikes him, he's obsessed with her

- Academic rivals to lovers

- Family drama

- Forced proximity
