Lily Danvers is an honors student with a perfect record and a crumbling home life. Rue Martinez is the school's star football player-silent, reckless, and impossible to read. When they're paired for a senior project, neither wants it. But one unexpected fall, a party gone wrong, and a growing tension between them changes everything. They're opposites in every way... So why can't they stay away from each other? --- She lives by the rules. She breaks every one of them. Together? They're a disaster waiting to happen-or something dangerously real. © Copyright 2025

Lilith Winters was the quiet girl dating the loudest boy in school. Jacob Rivelle-hockey captain, golden boy, and serial heartbreaker. Everyone said she was lucky to have him. She believed it too... until the night she caught him with someone else. Betrayal hits hard. But it hits harder when everyone's watching. Humiliated and heartbroken, Lilith is ready to disappear-until she crashes straight into Grayson Wolfe, her best friend's infamously off-limits cousin. He's the football captain. Brooding. Private. And completely uninterested in playing high school games. But there's something about him that makes her feel seen for the first time. What starts as accidental comfort turns into something neither of them expected. But falling for your ex's rival? That's not just complicated-it's dangerous. In a world where loyalty is everything, and reputations mean more than truth, Lilith has to choose between keeping the peace... or choosing the one who picked up the pieces.
