Aira Santiago and Zane Reyes have one thing in common: a burning desire to be the best. At the top of their elite high school class, they’ve spent years locked in a fierce academic rivalry—one marked by sarcastic jabs, smug victories, and an unspoken tension that neither wants to admit.
But when a twist of fate forces them to work together for a school project, everything changes. Between late-night study sessions, unexpected confessions, and a school event that brings feelings to the surface, the line between hate and love starts to blur.
Just when their guarded hearts begin to crack, a misunderstanding and growing jealousy threaten to tear them apart. With graduation looming and their futures pulling them in opposite directions, Aira and Zane must decide: stay in the safe zone of rivalry, or risk everything for the chance at something more?
Hearts at War is a sweet, slow-burn high school romance filled with tension, laughter, and all the messy, magical moments of falling for the one person you thought you’d never love.
