When Charlotte agrees to fake date bad boy Mason to make her best friend and secret crush, Ben, jealous, she thinks it will be a simple arrangement. The rules are clear and she's certain of her goal: make Ben fall in love with her. So why does it seem like the lines always blur when Mason is around? *** Charlotte Anderson has secretly been in love with her best friend, Ben Hathaway, since childhood, though he's never seen her as anything but the girl next door. After witnessing Ben kissing another girl at a party, a heartbroken Charlotte accidentally admits her crush to notorious bad boy Mason Reed... who also happens to be one of Ben's closest friends. But Mason isn't going to tell Charlotte's secret; instead, he suggests they fake a relationship to make Ben jealous. They create a set of strict rules for the arrangement: no kissing when Ben isn't around, no sex, and no falling in love. But as their fake relationship progresses, and Mason's walls break down, Charlotte finds herself questioning her true feelings for both boys, and wondering if some rules are meant to be broken-especially when it comes to love.

A mate. Something she didn't want. Something she didn't need. Being mated to a human was the last thing she expected.

Mikaela Valencia has always been in control-top of her class, admired by her peers, and confident that she can handle anything high school throws her way. But when Clyde De Castro transfers to her school, all her carefully planned days start unraveling. He's quiet, brooding, and somehow manages to get under her skin with every word, every glance, and every unexpected encounter. From the very first meeting, it's a clash of wills. Mikaela's sharp tongue meets Clyde's unshakable calm, and what should have been just another school year quickly spirals into constant banter, accidental run-ins, and small victories neither of them wants to admit they enjoy. With every stolen glance and carefully avoided conversation, the tension between them grows-messy, confusing, and dangerously thrilling. As classmates whisper and friends nudge, the two begin to discover that first impressions can be deceiving. Hate, it seems, can be as magnetic as attraction-and sometimes, the line between frustration and desire is thinner than anyone expects. In a world where pride, ambition, and first impressions collide, will Mikaela and Clyde ever stop fighting? Or is their rivalry only the beginning of something neither of them is ready to admit: love.
