[ 18+ COMPLETED high school romance] Lina Andrews has always been a bookworm; she loves to read, and she loves to learn the depth of what lies behind the words-hence, why she's always found with her nose in a book. Even with how much her brother, Brooks, had always made fun of her for it, she didn't let it ruin her spirits. Lina thrives during school hours-taking whatever English courses she can get her hands on, working in the student council with her best friend Avrey, and getting lost in music. But her home life? Her home life is a secret she carries alone, even from her brother, who's the football star of the school. Hayden West is Brooks Andrews best friend; complete opposites, which baffles Lina as to why they're friends in the first place. Lina hates Hayden, who's the social outcast/badboy of the school. And since Lina has always showed disinterest in Hayden, Brooks had no reason to worry about them hooking up. Not until Hayden catches Lina in the midst of running away from her problems-and everything changes. Can Lina let go of the worst first impression she had of Hayden? Or will her pride and insecurity get in the way of their passion? All Hayden knows is what's his, and he's not going to stop until he gets it. And Lina isn't gonna give in that easily. ** this book will contain possible triggers, as well as mature content.

Rome Mendoza is the beautiful cheer captain that everyone obsesses over, out of either jealousy or lust. She has the money, the looks, and the attitude. She rather keep up her routine of toxic exes and failing classes than worry about the cute guy in her history class. Lucas Astor is the quiet outcast who no one pays much attention to. He rather hide his face in a book than take part in the teenage party life that everyone else adores. Especially when it involves the rude popular girl who has a soft spot for him. Unfortunately, life doesn't really care about what they rather do. -enemies to friends to lovers-
