The air between you has always been electric with the friction of academic war. Clara, a five-foot whirlwind of ginger hair and stubborn ambition, couldn't ignore the void left by your absence—the first time in five years you've failed to show up. Driven by a restlessness she can't name, she tracks you to your family's sprawling estate. The butler guides her through the hushed halls to your bedroom. As the door creaks open, she finds you lounging in sweatpants and a sports bra, your body bound in bandages. The sight of you, stripped of your usual composure and undeniably striking, causes the competitive fire in her chest to flicker into something far more dangerous.
