Cassie Morel came to Los Angeles to disappear, not to fall for a boy who refuses to let her. Colby Brock is everything she promised herself to avoid-confident, charming, trouble wrapped in a hoodie with a smile that could ruin anyone's common sense. They meet by accident. They stay in each other's lives by choice. But the closer Cassie gets, the harder it becomes to tell where friendship ends and something deeper begins. He watches her like she's the only person in the room. She feels things she isn't ready to admit. And one simple question hangs between them: Are they just friends... or something more? A story about unexpected connections, slow-burning tension, and the moment everything changes...

Maya, a nineteen-year-old girl who is learning to play tough but is fragile on the inside, shows up at a party where she has nothing to do. But he is there too. Colby Brock. An older, dangerously attractive guy with more secrets than light in his eyes. When their paths cross in a drunken haze, they end up in a situation that almost goes wrong. But in the morning, there is only silence, regret and uncertainty. Neither of them has any idea what exactly happened... And what could happen next. Sometimes the biggest mistake can be the beginning of something that cannot be forgotten.

Lea is a senior in high school. She loves parties, drama, and living life to the fullest-but she definitely doesn't love Colby Brock. Colby is older, sassier, more irresistible than anyone else in school. And also the enemy she'd rather ignore... if she could. He provokes her. She defies him. And every look they share is like a spark that could ignite at any moment. But one piece of news. One night. One meeting on the school roof... And everything begins to change dangerously. Because where hatred ends, something even stronger begins. Something neither Lea nor Colby can escape. And the truth is simple: It's easy to hate him. Not to fall in love with him? That's the real problem.
