The Exception Of Her
He was supposed to be untouchable. Payden Hayes has spent years building a life around control—his career, his reputation, his classroom, and especially his emotions. Then Y/N walks into his world. She’s clever, stubborn, impossible to intimidate, and somehow always manages to get under his skin. What starts as harmless banter quickly becomes something neither of them is prepared to name. But there are complications. His ex-girlfriend, Clarissa Mave, wants him back and refuses to accept that their relationship is over. His longtime rival, Jacob Bell, is competing for Payden’s position—and seems to enjoy noticing exactly how distracted Y/N makes him. And Payden has one problem he can’t solve with logic: He’s falling for the one person he absolutely shouldn’t.
