Between Us
Ava Mitchell didn't come to university to make friends, fall in love, or get caught up in anyone else's drama. She came for one thing — her scholarship. So when she walks into the wrong classroom and crashes straight into Zane Carter, campus golden boy and certified inconvenience, she doesn't think much of it.
Until he shows up with a deal.
Zane needs someone to convince his persistent ex that he's moved on. Ava needs her grades to stay above the line that keeps her scholarship intact. The arrangement is simple — pretend to date, stay out of each other's way, and walk away clean when it's over.
Simple. Except nobody told her heart about the plan.
Because somewhere between late night study sessions, borrowed hoodies, 2am phone calls, and a boy who remembers exactly how she takes her coffee — the lines start to blur. And when the fake smiles start feeling too real and the deal starts feeling too small, Ava has to figure out the hardest thing she's ever faced.
Not enzyme kinetics.
Not scholarship reviews.
Whether what's growing between them is worth the risk of losing everything she came here for.
Some deals are harder to walk away from than others.
