FOLLOW ME FOR UPDATES!! They hate each other in public-but can't keep their hands off each other in private. Zara: brown-skinned, sharp-tongued, and top of her class - second only to him. She's an athlete, a big sister, and a survivor. She's worked too hard to let a boy get under her skin. Especially Matthew Ellis. Matthew: rich, brilliant, private. The school's golden boy with secrets behind those glasses and a piano-honed touch that's anything but innocent. He's used to being number one. Until Zara challenged him. In every way. They've been academic rivals since middle school - always neck-and-neck, always at war. But rivalry turns into something else when a stolen glance leads to a kiss, and that kiss spirals into nights they can't forget. Now they're sneaking around. Making out on countertops. Arguing like enemies and touching like lovers. But feelings don't stay hidden for long - and neither do secrets. Zara's past is scarred. Matthew's world is judgmental. And when their relationship crosses lines neither of them are ready for, everything threatens to fall apart. Because love? It was never part of the plan. But neither was wanting each other this much.
