Nos Braços Do Rival

In a college world where every hallway is a battlefield of intellect, pride, and desire, Rival Hearts explores the thin line between hate and a love that burns hotter than anyone expects. When fiercely independent Harper Lawson, a chemistry major with a sharp tongue and a stubborn streak, collides with Emery Collins, a confident and ambitious literature student, sparks fly—literally. Their rivalry begins in classrooms and spills into dorms, cafeterias, and late-night campus corners. Harper thrives on rules and routine, while Emery lives for unpredictability and teasing chaos. Every insult, every sarcastic remark, every heated debate draws them closer to a truth neither is willing to admit: attraction doesn’t always ask permission. What begins as antagonism turns into stolen glances, secret touches, and nights filled with whispered confessions and passion that neither can deny. Their friends notice the chemistry, professors are oblivious, and both women struggle with pride, past heartbreaks, and the fear of being vulnerable. As the semester unfolds, Harper and Emery navigate parties, group projects, dorm-room secrets, and the intoxicating highs of desire and intimacy. Amid campus gossip, emotional upheavals, and raw, steamy encounters, Rival Hearts captures the journey of two women learning that love can come disguised as hate, that surrendering to desire can be terrifyingly exhilarating, and that the fiercest rivals often make the strongest partners. Full of witty banter, heart-pounding tension, and intimate romance, this novel is a slow-burning, passionate exploration of the chaos of first love and the unstoppable force of attraction.

Robert, prenez soin de moi pour le reste de la vie. » Les commentaires fusaient : « Ils vont si bien ensemble, la secrétaire et le PDG, c'est le couple le plus mignon ! » Je n'ai ni pleuré ni crié, j'ai simplement éteint le téléphone en silence, et je suis allée chercher mon petit ami pour lui demander une explication.

Desde que me casei com Augusto, ele parecia ter sossegado de vez, cortando todo contato com outras mulheres. Todos diziam que eu sabia manter o marido na linha, que tinha um casamento feliz e uma família perfeita. No dia do nosso nono aniversário de casamento, vi por acaso as mensagens do grupo de conversa dele com os amigos: [Augusto ontem se deu muito bem no carro com a Heloísa mesmo, hein?] [Já tentei de tudo com ela, em qualquer situação. Ela me ama a ponto de não conseguir sair disso.] Logo abaixo, havia fotos íntimas dos dois, enquanto o grupo fazia algazarra e desejava que o casal durasse para sempre. Fiquei encarando a tela, com uma dor intensa subindo no peito. Então era isso. Aqueles momentos felizes que eu achava que tínhamos vivido não passavam de uma encenação cuidadosamente montada. Passei a noite inteira sentada, em silêncio, até Augusto chegar, atrasado. Ao ver o bolo em suas mãos, não consegui evitar um sorriso frio. — Eu já sei de tudo. Você não cansa de fingir?

Arlo Ford has everything he wishes for in life— a perfect family, great looks, and the greatest title. Being the next Alpha of the Blood Shadow pack, the strongest pack in the world, he has always been in the limelight and is loving every second of it. However, although all of those are important, he believes that the greatest blessing in life will be meeting his one and only mate. Hera Ahearn, on the other hand, never had any of those. She lived with her adoptive family, had little to no friends, and had the lowest title in their village. Growing up, she always heard stories about her mother and how she was ruthlessly killed in a war. So, when she hears that the perpetrators responsible for her mother’s death were in the Blood Shadow pack, she leaves everything behind and vows to take revenge. But what if the incoming Alpha of the Blood Shadow pack is actually her mate? Will she continue to pursue revenge for the sake of her mother, or will she follow her heart and fall in love with her sworn rival? [Sequel to The Alpha's Hidden Child. Could be read as a stand-alone.]
