At Hartley High, secrets don't stay buried for long-and neither do feelings. Andi Gregg wasn't looking for love. Sharp-tongued, unapologetic, and fiercely independent, she's the kind of girl who doesn't need anyone. Especially not Ant Vaughn-the one person who knows how to push every single one of her buttons. They've been best friends since Year 7, though no one can figure out why. He's all easy charm and reckless smiles, and she's all sharp comebacks and no-nonsense vibes. They bicker like enemies, ride or die like best friends, and flirt like they don't realize they're already halfway in love. But when past flames resurface and the truth behind Andi's guarded heart begins to unravel, the lines between love and hate blur in a way that neither of them can ignore. Because sometimes the hardest person to fall for... is the one who's been standing beside you all along. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘺. 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴. ᴀɴᴛ ᴠᴀᴜɢʜɴ x ᴏᴄ {sᴇᴀsᴏɴ ᴏɴᴇ(ᴏɴ ɢᴏɪɴɢ)}

Vaughn Morozov, the future Pakhan of the New York Bratva, grade-A arsehole and my personal monster. All I wanted to do was go to Royal Elite University with my friends and family to enjoy life, I never expected to have his attention. Alicia King-Steel, only daughter to Englands most influential business families, and the only girl who's ever managed to keep me interested. She's had my attention long before our first real meeting and when fate drops her into my hands, I won't take her for granted. Her claim to hate him only makes him more interested into winning her over. Even if he knows they won't last for long. Only he doesn't expect to fall harder than she does. (THIS IS A FANFIC, MOST OF THE CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY RINA KENT.) you can read this book on its own but I do recommend the rinaverse.
