Kennedy Carmichael never kisses strangers, let alone arrogant foreign exchange students from the UK but when her ex-boyfriend shows up to Hilton Prep Academy on the first day of senior year, hand in hand with her arch nemesis, Kenny does the unthinkable. Oliver Knight is in exile, living with his overbearing Aunt Bessie. After being kicked out of almost every private school in London, his parents ship him off to the US, hoping that Hilton Prep, with their strict schedules and world-renowned faculty, will whip Ollie into shape. After several turbulent encounters, Kenny and Oliver find themselves thrust into a mutually beneficial, yet mildly complicated friendship. They'll pretend to date to show Sawyer what he's missing, while at the same time demonstrating to Ollie's aunt that he can stay out of trouble. What starts off as a harmless charade soon spirals into something deeper, darker, and...real? With endless antics, bitchy mean girls, familial pressures, and spilled secrets, senior year just got a little more interesting. Will Kennedy and Oliver be able to overcome all the obstacles in their way or will their relationship remain a total faux? Warnings: Explicit language, snarky comments, sexual innuendos, and underage drinking/drugs.

"Let me convince you that love exists" Benjamin grinned at me. "Love is just some delusion our mind creates to make sure we procreate" I rolled my eyes. "And even if it did exist, wouldn't falling in love with you just hurt me in the end anyway?" "Maybe not" Benjamin shrugged. "If you don't believe in love by graduation, I'll tell everyone that you're the better hockey player" "Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Fine. Just don't get your hopes up too high, Prescott." Sage Preston didn't believe in love, which is surprising, considering her family is filled with true love stories. Benjamin Prescott, the son of her families long time rivals, is adamant to prove her wrong and show her how amazing love is. She's 90% sure that she'll win this bet. The 10% is uncertain because she remembers how hurt she was when Benjamin rejected her in 7th grade. { Book 3 of the Preston series }

"I'm assuming that little speech was meant for me?" "It was meant for everyone." "But mostly me. Is it because I called her selfish earlier? Are you still hung up on that?" "I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?" "Today isn't about you, Gemma," Bowie says, catching me by surprise. "Today is about Raelyn, and the fact that we all failed her." ----------- 𝕲𝖊𝖒𝖒𝖆 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖋𝖔𝖗𝖙's life is turned upside down the day she gets the call that her best friend, Raelyn, took her own life.
