Until the Final Bell
A College Romance of Secrets, Betrayal, and the Risk of Falling for the Enemy

She was the subject of a bet. He wasn't supposed to care. But when secrets buried beneath campus floors begin to surface, the game they're both caught in becomes deadly serious.

Nova Hart thought college would be her fresh start—until she overhears the boy everyone adores, Declan Blake, betting he can make her fall for him by midterms. What begins as betrayal soon unravels into something darker. Because Declan isn't just a campus heartthrob—he's part of a secret behavioral experiment that started long before Nova ever arrived.

As rumors spread, old files surface, and anonymous warnings flood her inbox, Nova realizes the conspiracy runs deeper than just a cruel locker room game. Her name appears in confidential studies. Her late father was involved. And the one boy she can't seem to stay away from might be the only person who can help her uncover the truth—even if he was the one assigned to manipulate her.

But when enemies become partners, when the lies are too many to untangle, and when trust becomes a weapon, Nova must decide who she's willing to believe—and how much of herself she's willing to risk.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, dark academia, and plot-twisting suspense, Until the Final Bell delivers gripping emotions, heart-stopping secrets, and a heroine who refuses to break—even when the final bell rings.
