A college romance caught between ambition and attraction

Audrey Cobalt arrives in New York determined to make college—and her long-held hopes for romance—work. A lie complicates that plan, placing her between Guy Abernathy, the ambitious captain of her university’s quiz bowl team, and Birdie St. Pierre, the musician tutoring her so she can stay on the team. Their clashing first impressions make Audrey’s choices difficult to separate from her academic goals. Set within the Cobalt Empire series, the story brings together campus competition, family expectations, and a romantic triangle, with Shakespeare invoked as a frame for the tangled question of whom Audrey loves and whom she loathes.

Book overview

*The limited deluxe edition will come with gorgeous designed edges and spot gloss*

From New York Times bestselling authors Krista and Becca Ritchie comes the next in the Cobalt Empire series, perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy, Elsie Silver, and Liz Tomforde.

Audrey Cobalt never expected a lie to land her between two men: the quiz bowl captain she wants and the bad-boy musician she hates.

The youngest of an accomplished family, Audrey Cobalt has spent her life chasing good grades and fantasizing over happily-ever-afters. Now fresh off to college and living with her older brothers, she's determined to prove that New York City is where she's fated to be.

Unfortunately...her dream life starts with a lie.

Guy Abernathy is cutthroat, ambitious, and the handsome captain of Manhattan Valley University's prestigious quiz bowl team. He's everything Audrey has always wanted.

Birdie St. Pierre is not.

He's sharp-tongued, abrasive, and the hot musical prodigy who hates rich, spoiled heiresses. Tragic, since Birdie is her new tutor--and her only shot at staying on the quiz bowl team.

Whom does Audrey truly loathe, and whom does she truly love? It could be a Shakespearean mess if she finds out too late.
