As the heirs of two rival companies run by their fathers, Vivienne Laurent and Rowan Hale have never had a choice but to be enemies. They go to the same school, sit in the same classes, and have spent years arguing every time they cross paths, neither of them willing to let the other win. It's always been easy to keep it that way. Until senior year forces them into the same group project. And at some point, it stops feeling like just normal arguments.

And Riya is forced to answer the one question she's been running from: What happens when the one you tried to ignore... is the only one who's ever really seen you? And what happens when people don't have the good intention they seem to have? Will hearts shatter? Will it heal?
