Rival Glow

<p>Being the president of Stonebridge University's student council means one thing: order. Traditions are sacred events run on precision and I'm the queen of keeping everything-and everyone-in line. Enter Jackson Carter the charming whirlwind of chaos who thinks rebellion is the key to progress. The first time I saw him he was leading a protest on the library steps shouting about innovation while his hair did this annoyingly perfect windswept thing. He's infuriating disruptive and somehow has half the campus ready to abandon blazers for pajamas all in the name of change. And now thanks to some cruel twist of fate we're stuck working together. A wager here a challenge there and suddenly my neatly arranged life is spiraling off-kilter. I'm torn between protecting the traditions I've worked my whole life to uphold and the unsettling allure of a future Jackson keeps painting-one filled with passion uncertainty and just maybe... possibility. The lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous blur with every conversation every debate every glance that lingers just a moment too long. The problem? I'm starting to wonder if letting go of control is exactly what I need-or if Jackson Carter is the one mistake I can't afford to make.</p>
