He's the brooding genius who's made my life hell for two years. So why can't I stop thinking about him?

All I want is to graduate top of my class, land the prestigious Johnston Internship, and prove I belong here. And standing in my way is Devan Morse—silent, intense, and infuriatingly brilliant. He's beaten me on every exam since freshman year, and I've hated him for it.

At least, I thought it was hate.

When we're forced to partner on a thesis project, everything shifts. The way he looks at me. The way he sees me. The way my whole body lights up when he's near. Something's been building between us this whole time, and I'm the only one who didn't know it.

Now we're competing for the same internship. One slot. One winner. The world wants us to be enemies.

But the fire between us? It's not rivalry anymore. And he's done pretending it ever was.

If you're looking for a short, spicy MM omegaverse instalove romance, a brooding genius alpha, an ambitious omega in denial, academic rivals-to-lovers, and the moment everything clicks into place, you're in the right place. No waiting, no slow burn. Just pure, primal claiming with a guaranteed HEA.

Book three in the Westbridge Mates series. Can be read alone, but books are best enjoyed in order.
