Slam Ducklings

“Dami Adeyemi arrives at La Rose Académie d'Hiver, a neo-Gothic fortress of old money and European prestige, carrying nothing but a scholarship and the roar of Lagos in his veins. He's an outsider, a basketball prodigy, and the school's most blatant anomaly. ​His first collision is with Sofia Diaz, the fiery, Spanish-speaking Debate Queen whose family name is practically carved into the marble halls. She's polished, ruthless, and entirely too used to getting her way-until Dami ruins her cashmere with hot chocolate. ​Their worlds are oil and water. She sees a clumsy upstart. He sees a spoiled tyrant. Their verbal sparring-in the classroom, the cafeteria, and the pages of the school blog-quickly becomes the only entertainment La Rose has. It's a battle of wits, pride, and social standing. ​But when their undeniable intellectual spark ignites something deeper, they realize the line between rivalry and desire is dangerously thin. In a school built on rules and tradition, Dami and Sofia are about to prove that the only thing more volatile than high-stakes debate is high-stakes rebellion. ​Rivalry. Revolution. Romance. ​Game on.”
