A Fighting Chance (Knockout Series)
A.J Nighthawke
by Rebecca Yarros
She's spent three years perfecting her hatred of him. One summer is about to ruin everything.
Wren Calloway doesn't believe in fate, second chances, or the insufferable charm of Declan Holt—the man who dismantled her career with a single recommendation letter and never looked back. But when a remote research posting strands them together for eight weeks with nowhere to run and no one else to blame, avoiding him stops being an option.
Declan knows Wren despises him. What he didn't anticipate is how much sharper she is up close, how her fury cuts through every wall he's built, or how quickly those walls are crumbling.
The tension between them is electric, infuriating, and absolutely dangerous. Every argument bleeds into something neither of them can name. Every moment of unexpected understanding feels like a betrayal of everything they've convinced themselves to be. They are wrong for each other in all the ways that make sense—and achingly right in every way that doesn't.
Yarros delivers a slow-burn romance that refuses to let either her characters or her readers breathe too easily. *Peculiar Stars* is a story about what happens when the person you've cast as your villain starts looking terrifyingly like home.
Because the most peculiar thing about falling for your enemy isn't the falling.
It's realizing you were never truly enemies at all.
