Aurora Vale has it all; a spotless reputation, a tight-knit group of friends, a younger brother who adores her, and the pressure of being the star of the girls' football team and the captain of the cheer squad. Emma Steel has none of that. Or it seems. She is messy, sarcastic and loud, raised by three older brothers who run the local mechanic shop after losing their parents. Life has not given her a silver spoon, but she got grit and a fire that refuses to be ignored.
When a high-stakes school project forces Aurora and Emma to work together, their worlds collide in more ways than one. Sparks fly, insults are exchanged, and walls are broken down, though neither is willing to admit it. As tension turns to attraction, the girls must navigate rivalries, family expectations and the fear of vulnerability. Can Aurora and Emma move past their differences or will their crashing worlds tear them apart?
