Y/N thought her one-night stand was exactly that: one night. No names. No numbers. No awkward morning-after conversation. Just one impulsive decision after years of having absolutely no interest in dating. Three days later, she walks into a university job interview and discovers the stranger from that night is Professor Osric Mordaunt. Of course, he remembers her. And he absolutely does not want her working at the university. Unfortunately for him, Y/N gets the job. Now they’re colleagues, forced into each other’s orbit and seemingly incapable of having a conversation without arguing. Osric is arrogant, infuriating, and far too pleased with himself. Y/N is stubborn, unimpressed, and determined not to let him get under her skin. Except neither of them has forgotten what happened that night. And the longer they’re forced to work together, the harder it becomes to pretend the tension between them is purely professional. They hate each other. At least, that’s what they’re telling everyone. Enemies to lovers. Accidental one-night stand. Forced proximity. Academic setting. Mutual attraction. And two people who really should know better.

Osric Mordaunt had spent most of the evening trying to get out of going. It hadn’t worked.
