Summary
Lando Norris has his life mapped out — a stable job, a respectable engagement, a future everyone keeps telling him he should want.
But lately, everything feels like it’s closing in. The ring on his finger feels heavier by the day, the smiles around him tighter, the walls of his own choices drawing closer.Then Oscar walks into his life. The man he shouldn’t have met. The mistake that wasn’t supposed to follow him into daylight. Now, standing across from him in the same department, the feeling Lando tried to bury breathes again — calm, composed, and entirely out of reach.
They’re supposed to be colleagues. Professionals. But every argument, every shared glance, every late night spent working becomes a reminder of everything Lando’s trying not to feel. And the more he tries to run from what’s expected of him, the more he finds himself drawn toward the one person he shouldn’t want.
A slow-burn academic rivals-to-lovers story about desire, denial, and the cost of choosing the life you want over the one you’re told to live.
