Violet Reed doesn't have the luxury of making mistakes. At Briar University on scholarships and two part-time jobs, every grade, every shift, and every decision matters. Failure isn't an option. Neither is Dean Di Laurentis. Rich. Connected. Entitled. Everything Violet has spent her life learning to avoid. After catching her boyfriend cheating on her, Violet swears off relationships altogether. Now living with Allie Hayes and trying to put her broken heart back together, she's focused on one thing: Herself. Then Dean decides he wants her. Unfortunately for him, Violet isn't impressed by his charm, his money, or his reputation. For the first time in his life, Dean hears a word no girl has ever dared tell him. No. Most guys would've walked away. But the more Violet pushes him away, the more determined Dean becomes to prove he's not the guy she thinks he is. And the more Dean gets to know Violet, the more he realizes she's worth fighting for. But trust isn't rebuilt overnight. Especially when the last people Violet trusted destroyed her. ────୨ৎ──── ✮ Dean Di Laurentis x Female OC ✮ Dual POV ✮ Based on the Off Campus TV series ────୨ৎ──── Highest rankings: #1 in DEANDILAURENTIS #1 in PRIME #3 in HOCKEYROMANCE #4 in OFFCAMPUS
