Austintx Stories

The first book in the Mendes Effect Series Nailea Kapoor has two rules: don't fall behind in ballet, and don't fall for Elijah Mendes. The first is non-negotiable-especially with Ballet Austin threatening to pull her admission if she fails calculus. The second? A matter of pride. Elijah is her twin brother Daniel's best friend, the most arrogant guy at West Ridge High, and the last person she'd ever ask for help. But when Daniel convinces him to tutor her, Nailea doesn't have a choice. Suddenly, she's stuck with Mr. Valedictorian himself-top student, soccer star, and insufferably smug genius-at her kitchen table every night. Elijah Mendes has rules of his own: don't get distracted, don't get attached, and never fall for your best friend's sister. With a mother in jail and a father long gone, his future rests on a soccer scholarship and a spotless record that keeps Team USA scouts watching. Tutoring Nailea should be simple. She's dramatic, high-maintenance, and completely off-limits. So why does she make it impossible to stay focused? Late-night study sessions turn into banter. Banter turns into sparks. And the more they fight it, the harder they fall. Some equations can't be solved with logic-and falling for the one person you swore off might be the biggest variable of all.
