Selena is a mean girl, the villain destined to lose her hot-shot boyfriend to the shy, overlooked nerd. Everyone watches in silent awe as he replaces her in the name of love. It was the perfect fairytale ending, just like the movies... But not for long. In real life queen bees don't lose so easily, and for Selena, this breakup evokes the attention of admirers long held back. Particularly one who's made her his 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣. One who grows to be far more successful than her ex...and far harder to resist. ─ ⊹ ⊱ ⊰ ⊹ ─ 𝑯𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒐𝒇𝒕 𝒀𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑯𝒊𝒎 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒆 & 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒆 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 #1 𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 #1 𝚟𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗ess

When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. _______ "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" _______

Mia Lang is glitter in heels. Dino Chen is perfection in a suit. When a viral video of their explosive argument turns them into the internet's favorite fake couple, the media ships them harder than Jungkook's gym videos. Dino's father sees a golden opportunity-and maybe, a chance to push his complicated son into actually living for once. His father came up with the idea of a one-year arranged marriage contract, sealed with a "billion-dollar fashion-tech merger". The rules? No real feelings. No real kisses. Absolutely no falling in love. Too bad Mia lives to break rules. And Dino... like his father expected, might be starting to enjoy the chaos.
