THE DEAL She's about to make a deal with the campus bad boy... Jennie has spent years perfecting the image everyone expects from her-elegant, untouchable, and effortlessly in control. As the daughter of one of the most powerful families in Manhattan, her life has always been carefully planned for her. Perfect grades. Perfect reputation. Perfect future. The only problem? Jennie is tired of being perfect. And when the guy she secretly wants keeps overlooking her, she makes a reckless decision that could ruin everything. Enter Taehyung. The arrogant, tattooed captain of the university hockey team is every warning her parents ever gave her wrapped into one devastatingly handsome package. He's loud, reckless, annoyingly charming-and the last person Jennie should ever be associated with. Which is exactly why she asks him to fake-date her. In exchange, Jennie agrees to help Taehyung pass the classes threatening his hockey career and future in professional sports. It's only supposed to be a deal. Fake dates. Pretend kisses. A few convincing photos for social media. But Taehyung quickly becomes addicted to getting under Jennie's skin-the way her sharp mouth challenges him, the way she falls apart when he gets too close, the way she looks at him when she forgets to pretend she hates him. And Jennie soon realizes Taehyung is far more dangerous than the rumors surrounding him. Because beneath the cocky grin and careless flirting is a man who sees through every wall she's built around herself. One unexpected kiss turns their arrangement into something messy, obsessive, and impossible to control. Now Taehyung wants more than her fake attention. He wants the real Jennie . And he's willing to break every rule to have her. ✩ A Taennie Adaptation ✩ Inspired by The Deal by Elle Kennedy.
