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. They start to notice things, the way the other avoids certain topics or shuts down too fast, like there's something they're trying to keep hidden. Reactions that don't add up to how they always knew each other, but neither of them says anything about it. Neither of them tell the truth. Because admitting the truth would mean admitting they're not so different after all. 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕. 𝑬𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒖𝒑 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖.
