After dying at twenty-five, Sophia awakens inside her own novel—not as the destined werewolf heroine, but as the jealous villainess meant to die. With a mysterious system guiding her, she must rewrite fate, survive betrayal, and untangle a dangerous romance with a powerful vampire who was never meant to love her.

Sophia has never liked Max Carter. Not in third grade when he stole her spotlight in the spelling bee, not in fourth when he beat her in the school competition, and definitely not now when his smug grin still haunts her every victory. They’ve been rivals for as long as anyone can remember — constantly neck-and-neck, constantly bickering, constantly trying to outdo each other. But everything changes when their teacher pairs them up for the most ridiculous project ever: parenting an egg. With their names written permanently across the fragile shell, Sophia and Max are stuck playing “mom” and “dad” — alongside their mischievous best friends Lily and Jake, who would rather stir the pot than help. Between dramatic “custody battles,” chaotic egg mishaps, and endless teasing, Sophia begins to realize that rivalry and something else might not be so far apart. Because behind Max’s cocky smirk lies a secret he’s been hiding all along… In this playful, laugh-out-loud rivals-to-lovers story, Sophia learns that sometimes your greatest rival might just be your greatest match. ---
