No commitment. No more heartaches. Just kissing. Could it really be that simple? Nate Herond. He's the guy everyone adores. Quarterback of the football team, a joker that ain't miss a chance to fool around, a trutly hearttrob every girl fall for, a friend to everyone... Then why Hailey Grace can't stand him? No one knows. But when she's forced to spend time with him things begin to change. Hailey's trying to overcome a heartbreak; Nate, something darker. Turning from dislike to friendship, they end up making a simple deal that would change everything.

Rain pelted against the windows of Eden Academy. Sixteen-year-old Anya Forger looked up and saw Damian Desmond approaching her desk with his usual air of superiority. They were classmates, but there was only mutual dislike between them, fueled by years of snide remarks. Yet, as their eyes met, Anya felt an unexpected thrill. Perhaps, beneath all that rivalry, there was something more.

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

A bodyguard, a girl with a smart mouth, and lots of tension.

A missing father. A secret mission. A sudden return to Eden Academy. Anya expected danger. She didn't expect Damian Desmond to get involved. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · Part 2 of 𝙀𝙥𝙞𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙮 and previously titled as "Indelible" *Highly recommend to just read this as a standalone, I wrote Epiphany a while ago and I'm starting anew.
