"If I didn't hate you I'd tell you to stop being such a fucking tease." "If I didn't hate you maybe I'd actually want to fuck you. Shut up, Harry." "Why do you even work here? You're just some trust fund bitch who lives off daddy's money." "Like you're not? Your dad literally owns this place. You're just some washed-up prick." "Anna-" "Leave Harry. Some of us actually have a job to do." * * * Annabelle Heyford, a 22-year-old college student, picks up a job at the bar her best friend, Maeve, and her brother work at. Harry Styles, a 23-year-old college dropout, works at his father's bar. He's freshly single, coming out of a long, toxic relationship. She thinks he's a washed-up dick with no work ethic. He thinks she's a pretentious bitch who lives off her parents' money. But those thoughts don't stick around too long...

"I don't care what he thinks," she whispers, somehow pulling me even closer to her. I stare at her, fighting the mental battle of risking my best friend over the beautiful girl standing in front of me. "Please, Harry." I don't waste any more time connecting our lips, feeling her blindly drag me to her bed. • • • • • A seemingly innocent night out completely flips a sibling bonding trip. When Ariella unknowingly goes home with her brother's roommate, there are only so many ways this could go. Harry is her brother's attractive, aspiring musician of a roommate and Ariella can't keep him off her mind. Little does she know, Harry is in the same boat- quickly falling for his best friend's off-limits sister. Will they push their feelings away, or will they go for what they want?

Alora Jones; a shy, 20-year-old who has spent all of her life struggling with her weight. It doesn't help that the main cause of that is because of her parents. Growing up with constant negativity and hurtful words being thrown at her by the two that are supposed to love her unconditionally has caused Alora to have trouble with opening up and letting others in. Not having any friends in real life, reading quickly became her main escape. Having a lot of free time, it's no surprise Alora is a straight-A student. Her plan is to move to London, attend college, and live with her one real (online) friend she has, Bella. Insert Harry Styles; the opposite of Alora Jones. At 24, he is a little bit of a player. Growing up with a loving and supportive family, he radiates sunshine and warmth. College was never his thing, so he never went. However, one thing Alora and Harry do share is their love for books. You'd never expect him to be a book nerd, but he is. So much so, he opened his own bookstore called, "Just Another Chapter". When Alora walks into a bookstore one day looking for a job, her life is thrown a curveball when she meets the owner. You guessed it - none other than Harry Styles. Harry was never the plan for Alora. But sometimes a change in your plans isn't always a bad thing.
