For as long as Zoey Anders can remember, there have been three constants in her life: her best friend, Mel Alexander, the Alexander family, and Michael Alexander making her life miserable.
Being best friends with Mel means spending countless hours at the Alexander house. It means movie nights, family dinners, and always having someone to lean on. Unfortunately, it also means dealing with Mel's older brother, the one person Zoey can't stand.
Michael Alexander is arrogant, infuriating, and far too good at getting under her skin. Every conversation turns into an argument, every encounter becomes a competition, and neither of them can go more than five minutes without getting on each other's nerves. After years of constant bickering, everyone around them has accepted one simple truth: Zoey and Michael hate each other.
At least, that's what they want everyone to believe.
When circumstances begin forcing them together, old assumptions start to crack. Beneath the arguments and endless teasing lies a side of Michael that Zoey has never bothered to see, and a side of herself she's never wanted him to know. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings neither of them saw coming.
As friendships are tested, emotions run high, and the line between love and hate begins to blur, Zoey finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. Because what happens when the person you've spent years fighting becomes the one person you can't stop thinking about?
After all, some love stories don't begin with a spark.
Sometimes, they begin with a war.
