The Studying Hours

Sara Ney

At Cunningham University, Sebastian “Oz” Osborne is a celebrated athlete with a notorious reputation, while diligent, sharp-witted Jameson Clarke prefers the quiet order of the library to the chaos of campus life. When the arrogant jock and the disciplined scholar are unexpectedly drawn into each other’s orbit, their biting banter and clashing perspectives reveal surprising layers beneath their carefully crafted personas. As attraction challenges their assumptions, both must confront the vulnerability, trust, and genuine connection hidden beneath the usual college stereotypes. A witty, steamy new-adult romance about opposites attracting and discovering that first impressions rarely tell the whole story.
