Allison Reed has her entire life planned out. As a scholarship student in a ruthlessly competitive architecture program, she relies on discipline, precision, and flawless execution to secure her future. Her ultimate goal? The prestigious European internship that will launch her career. There is only one obstacle: Cayden Black. He is the university’s golden boy—infuriatingly talented, dangerously chaotic, and the heir to a massive construction empire. He treats their grueling program like a playground, and he treats Allie like a puzzle he’s dying to solve. When an administrative error forces the two fiercest rivals on campus to become roommates, Allie’s perfectly structured world begins to crack. But the nightmare has only just begun. The internship they are both desperate to win requires a final project—and their professor has just mandated that they work as partners. Now, Allie must survive late-night studio sessions, domestic warfare, and a maddeningly attractive roommate who knows exactly how to push all her buttons. Losing the competition means giving up her dreams, but falling for Cayden might cost her everything. Can they build a future together, or will they destroy each other in the process?
