"He kissed me like I was the only thing he wanted. Then the next night, he held her like I'd never existed." Aria Langley never planned to get tangled up with James Beaufort-the golden boy of Maxton Hall. Sharp words turned into stolen glances, late-night study sessions turned into quiet confessions... until Ruby Bell came back and shattered everything. Now James is trying to win Aria back. Ruby's determined to keep him. And Aria? She's caught between wanting him and protecting herself from another heartbreak. In a world of privilege, secrets, and betrayal, love isn't a fair fight. And sometimes, the hardest person to forgive is the one you can't stop loving. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Angst. One wrong kiss at a time.

(ENEMIES to LOVERS/CRAZY FOR HER) I knew her. I chased her and was head over heels for her when she never spared me a glance or gave me her time of the day. She always looked for a crowd, wasting no time to blend in just so she could avoid me. But I never let her. Until I had to. Five years later when I find her in front of me, she refuses to recognize me. And I had to believe her as I was there when Maeve Grey died.
