{I stared at him shocked, as be stuck his jersey number on my cheek with rhinestones.
"But everyone-"
"Fuck them." He said, cutting me off. "All that matters is you princess."
He kissed my lips, for the thousandth time this year, yet it still took my breath away every time.}

I told Caden to cancel his stupid party.
He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?"
Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married.
He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for.
Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him.
He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one.
And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year.
Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected.
The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place-
and nothing threatens our pride more than that.
***
Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances.
This is Caden and Madison's story.
